Re-read above - see the edit entry.

Edit and note to someone with time on their hands:
What we (the Kindle developer's corner) need is a "jail broken" uImage -
I.E: With our developer certificate installed in the initramfs of the uImage file.

I **think** all that fastboot checked above when flashing it was the crc32 of the file.
(Because 'secure boot' is hardcoded as set to "no".)

Then we could use fastboot to install a JB uImage - that could use its recovery menu to install a JB main image file.
