ok, replying to myself as it may help others: First off, when I eventually got 2008.9 registered, an SMS that was sent some hours before came in (that perennial 2008.x problem :( I surmise that this was the reason I couldnt get it to flash (e.g., SMS waiting)
Next I shut down X on 2008.9 and was able to flash the gsm chip with the following config: Vodafone (128K) SIM inserted and registered (nothing in guide about sim in/out) shutdown X no apps running that linked to the tty did *NOT* issue power off/on commands as the guide specifies Used guide from that point on. Worked without problems. I have now done 3 reboots - PIN dialog came up first time, everytime so far ... would need a few more tries before I could put it down to luck or cured, but three in a row has almost never happened before now. A test sms sent to the phone after it had been suspended for ~10 minutes woke it up but did not indicate message received or similar. On resuspending for a few seconds and manually unsuspending, the sms received dialog came up. This would indicate this problem (lost, unannounced SMS messages) is still there, though the usual symptom is nothing received until after a full reboot.
