I am no longer with Logitech so I don't know for sure.  My
understanding is that there's only enough space for 2 images.  The
purpose is simply to be able to boot into a known working firmware in
the event of a broken one getting out.  From that known working
firmware, you can manually install any other arbitrary rev.

YUPPIE! I managed to boot up my SBR!

When I saw your post I started to think that maybe there's some other
rescue start up procedure so I started playing with different
combinations of buttons pushed along with the power button. During that
I thought - maybe POWER + REW button would work again? Pushed it once -
nothing, second try, nothing. Then I made a few more attempts with
different timing (pushing both for 20-30 seconds, pushing them in
different orders)... and you know what? My SBR booted with the old
7.4.2 firmware!

I couldn't believe my eyes so I... powered it off again just to learn
what I actually did that caused it to boot up :) Just as I thought, the
POWER button would not work. So again I tried playing with POWER+REW and
after a few (took me about a minute) tries, I managed to boot it up
again.

And then I managed to upgrade to 7.5.0 which seemed to have fully fixed
the radio!

Radio = press & hold the REW button during power up.

Mark,

Hiya, first of all.  :)

Secondly, has there ever been any discussion of implementing a
Radio/Touch feature of resetting the FW back to the Factory Original
FW?

I ask because these "revert" FW procedures only go back one version. 
If, say, I was on 7.4, tried 7.5, then tried 7.5.1, now the furthest
back I can go is 7.5

On the SBC, you can revert to the previous working firmware by holding
vol-up during power-on.  I forget how to do this on a Radio.  Maybe
vol-up on an IR remote.  There's also (I think) a front panel button
for this.  Hopefully someone else can recall it.

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried...

Now I'll just wait for a while with the unplugged SBR, but actually, I
think I've lost any hopes :(

I now just hope that Logitech here in Poland is going to accept my
device for repair...

I can't help you much with a bricked Radio.  Best I can offer is to
remove the battery, unplug Radio, let sit for a while, try plugging it
back in.

I suppose if the FW is truly corrupted (hopefully not) then it's
probably DOA.

But, if you do get it running again, here is a way to refuse future
updates.
When you get the update prompt, scroll down and select Help, then hit
the Home button.
I've done this dozens of times from numerous different SBS versions and
MySB connections.

Good luck.   :)
