In other words, just about what one would expect after any Amazon update.
Thanks for the report.

Lepricon: can you still push DO_FACTORY_RESET to user storage and get to registration screen? Then choose a different country/language to avoid loading the bad jar file, perhaps.

Nice thought.
But Amazon loads all *.jar files on start-up, not just those it actual requires.
(Which is one of the reasons that picking a language does not force an immediate restart.)

Yeah, thought about it too. And felt sorry that haven't done it first time, when I was able to.
I cannot push any files to user storage because it is unmounted. 0 bytes. No media state.
When I pushed DO_FACTORY_RESET first time, kindle restarted and asked me language. I choose language with edited jar file.
Didn't know that kindle loads all jar files though. So no need to feel sorry about language choice
So I screwed up completely. Mostly because I have script to copy that damn jar file. I did it automatically when reinstalled all my extensions.
I already tried to connect thru serial. Without success. Need more tight connection. Tried it without soldering. Now I wait for conductive paint and 1.8v cable. I have 3.3v cable.

Odd. I messed up editing a jar once and caused either a boot loop or "your kindle needs repair" message, I don't remember which. DO_FACTORY_RESET then selecting a different language allowed me to get into the home screen. Of course that was a few bytes, not an entirely different jar.

Keep in mind that every build of the Java part of the Kindle system uses different (obfuscated) entry point names.

Editing a jar file (without changing the external interface names) will at worst case CVM to error out when those changes are required for execution (or error while trying to initialize).

The identical *.java source file, will have different external and entry point names on each build. No way is it going to just happen to work.
To get a 5.8.10 binary out of the build system and to get a 5.8.11 binary out of the build system requires at least two builds (and thus two sets of names).

I am assuming that this will not work on the KOA2 yet... is that correct?

Nothing on this site is tested and packaged for the KOA2.
Nothing
And KUAL on 5.9.2 is broken, so even if you had something, you couldn't launch (run) it.

Maybe use the test package attached to the jail break thread?
Duh....
