Installing the firmware basically just unpacks a set of files into the right places. Downgrading without a factory reset means that any extra files in the later versions are not removed. So, the Unblock It! executable will still be there. And as long as it doesn't rely on an updated library, and you can start it, it will run. People have taken advantage of this for other games on the devices that don't have them in the Beta Features.
Wow. Interesting.

Thanks for that information, davidfor!
