Yes. He was gamethrowing. There's next to no reason to avoid giving your role to the Jailor, since if you're a Townie, there's nothing to fear except execution. And if you don't claim, you're definitely getting executed.

However, under some circumstances, lying to the Jailor might not be throwing. If you're a Doctor, and there's a known SK on the loose, claiming something else (BodyGuard, for example), is fine - as long as you ask to be jailed the next day and tell the truth. Since you're confirmed not to be the SK (the Jailor didn't die from jailing you), the Jailor should believe you. If the Jailor does end up executing you anyway, c'est la vie. Neither of you are throwing.
