I'm pretty certain Jaune's Semblance was always planned to be Aura amplification. Back in the Volume 1 directors commentary, Monty said that the flash of light when Cardin tried to punch Jaune was the first sign of Jaune's Semblance.

Jaune had hardened his Aura shield so that Cardin would hurt his hand punching it, and after the flash, Jaune's bruises were gone because they had healed. Back then, the RWBY crew had mentioned that there was an animation error with the bruises. We had all assumed that the error was that his bruises weren't supposed to disappear, but now we know that the true error was that the bruises came back. The bruises were supposed to stay gone because they had healed.

(And honestly, I don't know how they used the wrong Jaune model or texture. Really. Even before rendering, they should've been able to see the massive blue and purple splotches on his face. *Facepalm*)
