What happens to jump list when jumping via exe?

Hi, I'm using 7.3 and when I make a jump via exe, e.g.:

:exe '/def '.expand('<cword>')

Previous location does not show up in jump list and instead some random locations show up there. Obviously, ctrl-o does not work to jump to previous spot.

Is this a known issue and is there a workaround?

Thanks!
