I will start by breaking a small confidence. I shipped Michi the phone in question (unless he got another E5 recently!), and I believe it came from a batch that Canonical acquired around the time of launch. It is therefore quite old. It is standard practice for us to issue fresh factory images to OEMs like BQ with each OTA release. I believe it is the expected behaviour for mobile phone OEMs to make phones in batches, and for those batches to be sold with the software that was current at the time of production. It's particularly expensive to re-visit a phone already made, so I believe no-one routinely updates the software between manufacture and the customer getting it. We certainly need to consider how long the OOBE lives in such a batch manufacturing world, and I believe you will see bugs which impact the experience between first boot and first OTA are given release-blocking status as a consequence.
