Attention please: The issue mentioned in my question above was fixed
yesterday. Ubuntu-updates popped up and offered a bunch of updates,
including updates for the additional drivers menu and jocky. The entries
are now listed and working as expected. See here for more information:

Title:
  Amd HD7850 additional drivers bug, three identical entries

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I am writing this for my girlfriend, I can't access her computer right
  now.

  The issue: Using an Amd HD7850 with Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS 64-bit, trying
  to install one of the Amd proprietary drivers via the "additonal
  drivers" tool will result in confusion. There are three entries to be
  seen - and they're all the same, they all have the exact same
  description with no recommendation or information about the driver
  package whatsoever. The question now is; which one is the
  stable/recommended driver, which one is the updated driver and which
  one is the experimental driver?
