Yes, it might affect how the configs are restored. Probably it's
broken for jffs2 since most users are using squashfs + jffs2 overlay
and so nobody noticed.

It looks like in both squashfs and jffs2 cases it just hands "mtd" the
file with the configs, and it search for the JFFS2 EOF marker (which
is appended to squashfs images as well) and then places the configs
overwriting it. Probably that's not a valid way to really overwrite
the files already present in a jffs2 image.

That's to be expected. But do you want to say it's a bug that opkg
"agreed" to upgrade the kernel instead of telling you it just can't do
it (and then refusing to upgrade all the modules of course)?
