I tried method a), deleting the firmware update before disconnecting.

I can confirm that this method still works to prevent a firmware update with the Aura running 2.5.1, and that it does successfully update the dictionaries even though the firmware update is deleted.

I carefully compared the files before and after running Kobo Desktop, and the only files I had to delete were:

.kobo\KoboRoot.tgz
.kobo\manifest.md5sum
.kobo\upgrade (sub-folder containing bin files)
