I see some ambiguity on this one, but from all of the Taiwanese people that
I have asked, they all pronounce the 角 as jiao3 when it refers to the
meaning of "role". I'm not sure about the other 3 meanings, so I'll let you
decide on that one.

Editor: that's funny, because ALL the taiwanese I know pronounce jue; they usually go as far as saying that jiao is an uneducated, PRC pronunciation. And they are vindicated by Taiwanese dicts, as far as I can see.
(Why, even nciku says 主角 zhujue, I would have thought they went for zhujiao.)
Maybe I live with the older generation, and you with the young.
Diff:
# - 角 角 [jue2] /role (theater)/to compete/ancient three legged wine vessel/third note of pentatonic scale/
# + 角 角 [jue2] /role (theater)/to compete/ancient three legged wine vessel/third note of pentatonic scale/Taiwan pr. jiao3/
