Not what I expected:

Code:

./copycmp.sh /mnt/us/rootfs.img /dev/mmcblk0p1
INFO: task dd:26360 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
dd            D c0363c08     0 26360   1957 0x00000000

But informative.

There is something certainly wrong inside that eMMC flash chip.

This is also probably why you had trouble transferring the file intact - that shouldn't have happened either.

Thanks for your help - we now have some new tools and knowledge to deal with this sort of problem.
Something that will be showing up more and more often as the Kindles age.
