That there'd be a free space check during the update's *download* OTA, sure, why not.
But I'm concerned with storage issues in the rootfs, not the USB partition .

It'll happily keep on trucking and try to install the kernel, bootloader & co, even if the unpack screwed up first. (Which, granted, would probably not be *that* problematic, because those don't live in the rootfs).
If the unpack fails due to a lack of space in the FAT32 partition, it will not try to copy files to the root partition. Instead you'll get an error message. Now if the root partition runs out of space during the file copy, that I've never tested. An interesting experiment to try some day. Just make sure I'm ready to do a factory reset.
