They apparently don't even rebuild the partition table for a size change too. Nothing uses CHS addressing anymore, so this doesn't actually matter, but the CHS addresses in the partition table don't appear to match up with the LBA ones.

A corruption on the old card would get copied to the new card.

For the record, my last SD card failure in a Kobo was a better one (note that it's my own, not the one which came with it) which went read-only, but still with everything intact, and caused factory reset loops because of that. The one before that was actually corrupted, though.
