Umm, no, it doesn't.

On the Kobo the paperclip button is supposed to do a reset back to last known good configuration, or equivalent. The reset to firmware option is to press the Home button and power button simultaneously, which, in my case at least, didn't register. As both these buttons have alternate uses whatever was supposed to register the simultaneous press for a different purpose didn't work. Which only reinforces the point about the firmware reset button needing to be a single function hardware process.
