If this has been discussed already, forgive me, but the following thought occurred:
Jack leaves Mitre Square after killing Catherine Eddowes - taking a piece of her apron to wipe his hands and/or knife. He wipes his hands and/or knife as he walks, and knows he needs to discard the piece of cloth, not wanting to have it on his person in case he is stopped and questioned by the police. He happens to see the Ghoulston Street Grafitti (he might even have ducked into the doorway when somebody - maybe even the police, walked by) and thinks "Perfect - it mentions Jews and is written so badly, it's hard to tell what it means. I'll just toss the rag here - that should muddy up the waters . . ."
Possible? Probable? I await your comments . . .
