Hi, I am upgrading my device all the time to the latest release allthough I am using a internal rootimage that has xterm already installed and gaining root haven't been a problem so far, it always works. We have 4 of these devices in active use in our household (2 prototypes and two final retail devices) and never encountered any problem you described. Just follow the instructions, the worst you can end up is need to reflash the device, but that you can do anyway assuming if you are seeking for root. I have some additional instructions in my blog allthough those are already covered in the maemo wiki nowadays (I just checked what is told in maemo wiki and it seems to describe everything). Have fun with root :).
