Maybe the firmware upgrade cant always do the auto recovery as it doesn't necessarily know it is broke; this actual use case in this thread is a good example of that.

But to recover then you could have some ring-fenced code that could recover from U3.  then to initiate the restore retrospectively you just set a Boolean at a memory address X and reset the system and it auto recovers.

That's my suggestion anyway.
