The way I have always looked at this is that to know whether a square is attacked by the opponent during your turn you should pass that turn, and see whether the opponent then can move there. So the question then is what the turn-pass would do for the movement capabilities of the Joker.

1 seems most natural to me. I would think that passing a turn shouldn't count as moving a piece, so it shouldn't change the Joker's move if it is defined by the last piece moved. In a game that doesn't allow passing, passing should be considered the same as a double move by the other side.
