This happened for the second time last night after the battery totally discharged itself quite rapidly. I am left to think that there is some duct tape workaround where they are somehow sharing an otherwise still hidden partition.
A more thorough expert on partitioning and file access can weigh in, but I am starting to appreciate the delay B&N is having on releasing this update publicly and that they are actually doing real testing.

I haven't rooted the GL3, but I have installed launchers on it and file explorers are definitely still seeing (or not seeing, as the case may be) two storage locations.
The basic file explorer built in to RelaunchX was unable to see anything I put on the GL3. It saw the top level system files fine, and it saw the dedicated Nook partition fine. But nothing I put on it with a USB cable was visible.
Then I installed Nova launcher with Astro file explorer and FX file explorer. Both explorers were able to see my sideloaded apks and files, but they are in a completely separate storage location from the Nook partition. I think the explorers are reading the storage as a "main storage" and an external SD card.
