With the mounting caveats as stated later... or do the notes of Eureka suggest that this needs more thought?
I'm struggling to put it all together.

I provided step-by-step how-to and did it (in all senses) by myself. It's working: right now, on my KT userstore is shrinked to 1GB, "free space" of 2GB is loop-mounted as ext3 filesystem. And that 1GB userstore is still recognized as USB disk when KT is connected to computer. Aso userstore is perfectly seen by all interested parties from KT firmware (framework, volumd, etc.). And there wasn't any changes in KT system scripts on main partition. It's just work and survives reboot.

Even apt-get can lock up...

I thought,
solution for lock-up was already found. Wasn't it?
