We investigate the geometry of the Kodaira moduli space M of sections of pi : Z -> P-1, the normal bundle of which is allowed to jump from O(1)(n) to O(1)(n-2m) circle plus O(2)(m) circle plus O-m. In particular, we identify the natural assumptions which guarantee that the Obata connection of the hypercomplex part of M extends to a logarithmic connection on M.
