I have been backing up a jailbroken iPhone (3G, 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, and now 5S) for several years and never found any problems with my iTunes backup. It's my understanding that iTunes backs up certain files and folders on your iPhone and jailbreak data is not seen or backed up in general. There are some apps that deliberately make a folder in a place that iTunes will backup (such as backup programs that keep a package for restoring later if you have to do a restore) but generally the jailbreak data is ignored. I have had to restore iPhones and used my iTunes backup files and never had a problem with that process. I also did a restore early after jailbreaking with iOS7 using evasi0n 1.01 and had no problem with that process. Hope that is helpful.
