I followed a link on one of the other threads regarding firmware upgrades, and downloaded the upgrade to my local system. I ran it directly, and it resumed its installation and completed correctly.
After 15 panicky minutes thinking I had bricked my Reader, it worked just fine.
p.s. I run my sole Windows machine in a VMware virtual machine. Apparently, that is not good for doing firmware upgrades, as I read right after starting the update. :/ However, I ran the manual update in the VM, and it worked for me.
