Yes, Jinettes are notoriously annoying to face in battle (which might give a hint as to their strengths when you are the one controlling them). I usually rely on horse archers (especially when playing as the Byzantines) to thin their ranks, then charge home with light-to-medium cavalry. This often does the trick. Still, those buggers can have you chasing them all around the battle map if you're not careful! Sorry to hear about your bad luck after the battle in question. The gods of MTW are somewhat demented, I'd say, and love to mete out punishment in unequal measure to our modest successes. Who wouldn't love such a game? Might I ask, was this in vanilla?
