I ran "soot.Main -f jasmin" on a class with fields, and it looks like
you need double quotes around your field names.  Your line above
becomes:

.field public "aByte" B

Seems to work fine after that.

I'm honestly not sure jasmin-sable was ever meant to be used outside
of Soot.  The README specifically says it's a "specialized version"
for Soot -- probably to do stuff like handle code attributes.

My guess is that your best bet is to stick with 1.0.6, although
someone more knowledgeable might want to comment -- perhaps indeed
you'd benefit from bugfixes in jasmin-sable.
