You are right. Things like movement speed, jumping range, damage taken
when falling down, etc. are supposed to be based on character
attributes eventually. So they should also be covered by the rules.

So far there are two skills Body Control and Climb that specifically
cover movement-related variables. In that respect, wouldn't it make
more sense to introduce a Speed skill (or a different skill that
combines some/all of the above)?

That would fit the idea that properties are mostly combat related,
while skills cover all the rest. Also, properties are directly tied to
attributes, whereas skills can be raised directly. With speed being a
skill it would leave players more room for individually developing
their character.
