For now, creating a folder named "update.bin.tmp.partial" in the Kindle USB root seems to work for preventing auto updates. No idea if/when that'll change.

Mind, it seems the presence of that folder by itself has caused extremely poor battery life on the PW4. There's a KUAL helper add-on that creates an additional file to alleviate the problem.
