Well that sounds pretty interesting to me, first of all because it's all ASCII (no bin to be disARMed),
but, it's for Kindle4 and KindleTouch while I'm using KindleKeyboard!
And if you have a look at here:

Phrases like: "..think that we're pretty safe..", in conjunction with: "If that value [MNTUS_PART_OFFSET] is wrong then we lose any ability to mount that partition" doesn't encourage me too much!
Do you have a KindleKeyboard yourself and could you explain how to backup the whole system "as is" without remounting / rw?
If I only get my restoreable image first, I'm open to experiments.
Could you also confirm my assumption that there are three "parts" on the kindles storage, which are (rear to front): 3. userstorage (/mnt/us) FAT32, 2. systempartitions (/dev/mmcblk*) ext2/3? and finally 1. bootstrap <- which will show up with a restore option if the system is seriously broken?
Greetings
