In any case after more fiddling:

Turning off all four optional restrictions (Good Reads, Free Time, Browser, Cloud) re-enables all menu options including Registration and Reset. Likewise turning on just one of them disables those menu options. So, maybe this is reduced to nothing but an annoyance because even with all restrictions off there still remains an annoying Parental Password that doesn't appear to be "delete-able" (and, over time is forgettable only to be problematic later on).
1 - I'll re-word that.
The combination to avoid is reset immediately followed by an update image install.
At the time it was written, the 'leave in airplane mode' was not in the directions.
That caused people problems when they did a 'reset' and then got clobbered by an OTA update.

2 - Thanks.
I'll work that information into the directions.
The 'disable everything' was sort of a general, sledge hammer, sort of advice.
It could be made more specific.

* - The problem with registration and access to UYK on some firmware models will be the next thing that gets fixed.
