Thanks for the quick reply, NiLuJe!
Well, the original post in this thread says the following:

Speaking of updates, remember that everything is basically evil since FW 5.12.x, so the only sure fire way not to get screwed is to *permanently* stay in Airplane mode.
[...]
If, despite the many earlier warnings, you're currently running FW >= 5.12.2, things get a little dicey
[...]
Fair warning, though: this will *no longer* protect you from automatic updates on FW >= 5.12.x! On those FW versions, slightly more aggressive methods are in various phases of development, check the forums
[...]
If you're in a position to choose which FW version to update to, *avoid* anything >= 5.12.x
All of which suggest to me that I should stay away from versions 5.12.x and later if possible?
