Check the Kindle koreader.sh script, it has some extra ugly band-aid to make it behave (basically, copy tar somewhere safe like /tmp, and use that copy to do the unpacking).

Note that this only papers over the issue, if the startup script itself has been updated, it might also cause the restart to fail, and cause the usual post exit cleanup to be skipped.
I got it to update, by renaming the tar file from installed to koreader.updated.tar and restarting koreader. All went just fine. Does the above still apply ?

(I assume the fbink version in koreader will be updated in the future, my log is swamped by the message:
[FBInk] Couldn't find a Kobo version tag (onboard unmounted or not running on a Kobo?)!
