I had this problem and it appeared in more than one manner. Once I got it by turning the Kobo on after an overnight charge. I had added some books the day before, but had started reading one and turned off and restarted several times during the day. Once it erased all books and added fonts like a reset would, but still asked for a reset.
I added an sd so I could keep the books I was reading on the device. Adding and subtracting books from the card by any method caused the reset screen.
There were too many different scenarios and ways to cause the reset screen for me to think it was just a "tiny proportion" of owners. Instead I suspect the tiny proportion were the owners that hadn't experience it YET.
So far, with the firmware upgrade, it is functioning as I had initially hoped it would.
I think this problem was just further evidence the Kobo was rushed out the door to meet a sales department deadline. Maybe to introduce around the same time as the new Nook? This is a common way of doing business. Engineering/Software put bandaides on a not ready for prime time product to meet an externally imposed deadline! Fortunately it seems to be maturing into an excellent product.(Knock on wood)
