Because my example code bypasses that extra level of indireciton.
The import library that you link your assembler code implements the
import linkage with something like this:

		PUBLIC	MyData,__imp_MyData

		SEGMENT	.text
	MyData:
		jmp	[__imp_MyData]
		ENDS

		SEGMENT	.idata$5
	__imp_MyData DD	?
		ENDS

It's the __imp_MyData variable that gets fixed up by Windows to point at
the correct address, not the jump instruction.  You don't need to use
the jump instruction to find this variable, just use the __imp_MyData
label access it directly instead.
