Disclaimer: My memory is suspect so I would not be surprised if the above scenario went the other way round, i.e. the jogger suing the cyclist. I'll continue to see if I can find some details.
I seem to remember a posting like this. If I'm thinking of the same thing a jogger made a u turn in front of the cyclist causing her to fall and have a serious injury. She sued and won. Predictability trumped audible warning in this case.

It might be this, but not sure.

Of course if you want to avoid injuries and the courts it's best to pass when it is safe and plan for unpredictable behavior.
