FWIW/IIRC, something was on social media from Karen Chen about learning knee sliding from Buttle at SOI rehearsals.
It was within the past week ... maybe an Instagram story?
[I think(?) Karen said (in a light-hearted way) that her knee was sore after practicing the move for a couple of hours.]
Not saying that it would be a sure sign that Jason's choreo is from Buttle. But without more information, I would not rule out Buttle. YMMV.
My two cents:
I did not read anything particular into the "first coach" reference.
Jason's train of thought seemed to be that his sister's involvement in skating was an early inspiration for his own skating. Also that he loved his first coach (Kori).
To me, it could be analogous to someone making reference to meeting "my first" best friend in childhood ... maybe leading up to saying that "my first" best friend still remains my best friend -- many years later in adulthood.
We did not hear whatever Jason said next, but to me, it seems possible that he continued by adding something like, "... and I still am with my first coach after all these years. She still inspires me to this day."
YMMV.

Agree that Scott Hamilton's "tease" was only about the next benefit show for his charity.
