I was guessing.
People have contacted me on how to downgrade using the recovery menu -
And from their silence - assumed it had worked for them.
Maybe it destroyed their Kindle and they just never wrote back.

IT did work on the erased Kindle which was restored using Fastboot.
That was not a factory recovery package but just the regular, Amazon posted update package.
So it may check, but being unable to check must not be a fatal error.
In another case -
The update package was signed but the signature was found to be 128 bytes long instead of 256 bytes -
Again, only a nasty log message, but not a fatal error to the load process.

All corner cases I hope to find time to play with.
