Great post! =)

I was very tempted to give this alternative firmware another go, but upon hearing that this issue remains, I think I'll give it a miss...

It'd be great if you could maybe put up a comparative video on your site of the two separate versions. I'd love to actually see it in action... without having to run the risk of losing calibre functionality by trying it for myself.
