The posterior mean of $N$ is $522$ and the posterior median is $233$. I calculated the posterior mode of $N$ on the log-scale and back-transformed the estimate:

jagsfit.mcmc <- as.mcmc(out)
jagsfit.mcmc <- combine.mcmc(jagsfit.mcmc)

hpd.80 <- hdr.den(log(as.vector(jagsfit.mcmc[, "n"])), prob = c(80), den = bkde(log(as.vector(jagsfit.mcmc[, "n"])), gridsize = 10000))

exp(hpd.80$mode)

[1] 149.8161

And the 80%-HPD of $N$ is:

(hpd.ints <- HPDinterval(jagsfit.mcmc, prob = c(0.8)))

Thanks again to @StéphaneLaurent and @user777 for their valuable input in the comments. After some tweaking of the prior for $\lambda$ I can now replicate the results from the paper of Raftery (1988).

Here is my analysis script and results using JAGS and R:

The results are:

The posterior mean of $N$ is $522$ and the posterior median is $233$. I calculated the posterior mode of $N$ on the log-scale and back-transformed the estimate:

jagsfit.mcmc <- as.mcmc(out)
jagsfit.mcmc <- combine.mcmc(jagsfit.mcmc)

hpd.80 <- hdr.den(log(as.vector(jagsfit.mcmc[, "n"])), prob = c(80), den = bkde(log(as.vector(jagsfit.mcmc[, "n"])), gridsize = 10000))

exp(hpd.80$mode)

[1] 149.8161

And the 80%-HPD of $N$ is:

(hpd.ints <- HPDinterval(jagsfit.mcmc, prob = c(0.8)))

The posterior mode for $N$ is $150$ and the 80%-HPD is $(78; 578)$ which is very close to the limits given in the paper which are $(80; 598)$.
