Well that does seem to confirm it.

There be unmentioned exceptions:
PW3 - 5.8.9.0.1 (a fallout of the Japanese model support)
KT3 - 5.8.10 (no known reason - other than this and the new Oasis both have Bluetooth - it is hard to keep change sets across different hardware models).

The way the new Oasis feature descriptions read - it will be shipping with 5.8.10 (most likely this broken build) and then later OTA update to 5.8.11
(Keep in mind, the factory has to work months in advance to build enough units for a new model.)

We can hope for a broken 5.8.11
Since the voice packs can not be installed on 5.8.8, 5.8.9, or 5.8.10 unless the protection from the factory initial images is dropped.
When Amazon blocked the package type used for the factory initial images, they also blocked their own voice packs (which use the same package type).
