Sorry this took so long, too many deadlines set on last Friday...
This new version should now work with 2.6+ and older firmwares (It worked for me on 2.1.5, but be careful). The support for older firmwares is more of an accident, so I recommend to upgrade.
The code and a short description is now on github:

Turned out to be nothing more than compiling with the new toolchain, as for some reason Kobo decided to switch to hard-float ABI. Interestingly, old firmwares load the hardfp version, but new firmwares refuse the old softfp version without any error message at all. That is why I first suspected Kobo to have removed/locked LD_PRELOAD. Also the update process via udev had to be tweaked a little to work on 2.6.1.
