Now I see why you didn't want to answer, on the phone earlier today, when I asked if Toshiko was one of those who'd died... ah.
Whose exit wounds does the title refer to?
I can see this as a linguistic trick. As in, Captain John's "exit wounds" Captain Jack, for many reasons related to the things you pointed out as being still unexplained by this episode (and the entire season) about their connection and relationship.
I can also see it as a clear use of the term as it is medically used: when a person has been struck by a projectile which does not then come to rest within that person's body, the projectile causes an exit wound as it leaves that person's body. More than one projectile, more than one exit wound. Two team members lost... and Jack has two more exit wounds in his psyche.

Just a thought.
