An Amazon representative stated around the time PW2 launched that PW1 would get an update to add some unspecified subset of the new features (where feasible). While I cannot find a reference to this now, I remember this because it factored into my decision not to get a PW2.
So at least in my mind, there is some substance, and I'm assuming it will happen. There is some precedent: Kindle Touch got an update Jan 2013 after the launch of PW1 that brought it to feature parity with PW1. In this case the hardware is even more similar so changes needed to back port the firmware would be minimal.
OTOH at this point, I'd rather see popup footnotes come to the Fire....
