Ah, thank you, Garth. I read through Jose's rules and found this in Ajax
Orthodox:

'The Minister (enhanced Man or Commoner) is an additional minor piece to
the Ajax Chessmen set that can move AND capture on their one-square moves
(just like a Man, circles in green above) or can also do a two-step leap in
any direction (Alfil+Dababah - circles in blue above).'

Read by itself, it implies the Minister cannot capture with its leap. Read
in context, it seems that it does capture with all its moves, unlike the
other Ajax pieces with augmented moves. Burned by a literal reading of the
rules for [only] the specific piece.
