In amazon kindle land, "factory reset" and "factory restore" mean wiping of all user data and reversion of all configuration settings to default.
Maybe the emmc is going bad but is not far enough gone for that to be clear.

This is the post I referred to.

Because of this statement, "you should be running the factory original firmware now -"
I had presumed the normal device behavior was to revert to a factory image kept on the EMMC after DO_FACTORY_RESTORE and that a factory reset from the menu cleared the user related partitions keeping the current firmware update.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Thanks also to everyone that responded.
