I thought the issue was that when you put the update_KV_5.5.0_initial.bin on there the Kindle just deletes it rather than update, but the 'Update Your Kindle' option was not greyed out so everything worked fine. Maybe 5.8.9.0.1 is some version only used in shipping? I dunno. He's up and running on 5.8.9.2 with jailbreak in tact now though.

Received my kindle paperwhite today - firmware 5.8.9.0.1. Serial #: G090G1...
Went through jailbreak process described in first post and it seems like it's a success!
I was hesitant to try but your post made me think maybe this is just a re-named older firmware version that's somehow unaccounted for...
