Doesn't this also mean you can't do regular system updates, since the chip would replace it with the old system?

I would presume that there is some sort of new method for OTAs on this phone, that overwrites the hidden portion of the iNAND. However, whether that method can be exploited to permanently root the phone remains to be seen. At present, no one knows how it works.
