p0442 (small evap leak) and p0456 (very small evap leak)
For anyone who runs into these codes: after replacing the gas cap (dealer: $35) on my S-Type to see if that would resolve the evaporative system leak, I replaced the purge valve canister ($105 from dealer) and this completely resolved the issue.
When I left the engine idling for a few minutes there was a clear continuous clicking sound every two minutes or so coming from the original purge valve canister, leading me to suspect it may have failed. I replaced the purge valve canister, reset the DTC codes, left the car idling for 5 minutes, drove for 20 minutes at 80kmh, giving the car enough time to run the Evaporative System test. The fix was confirmed resolved once I saw the Evaporative System test had been run successfully (on my code reader).
Annoyingly, I had taken the car into my local Jaguar dealer months earlier and they had (I later discovered) somehow misinterpreted the P0442 code as a "misfire" problem and replaced a whack of parts to try to fix a non-existent misfire problem for $1500 without even attempting to address the evap issues (they only attempt to fix the first code they pull in case that is the cause of the others) - so I ultimately decided to give it a go on my own to see if I could do better...
The purge valve canister replacement is extremely easy: two bolts and three clip-on pipes, and the part is easily accessible under the hood on the driver side. This may not be your resolution but check for clicking coming from the purge valve canister over a period of 10 minutes if you get these codes (or even just P0456 alone).
This post has the part #, pictures and steps to replace the part:

... Though his symptoms were a bit different, it's the same fix.
Hope this saves someone some time and/or money...

Mikey, in my case the purge valve was obviously clicking. I've read that in other cases the purge valve developed small cracks which can leak and which are usually not detectable by a smoke test.
I was going to head to the gas tank seals next and then the charcoal canisters if the purge valve replacement didn't work.
