I was wrong, its only the Launchpad base jar that will get updated (from inside the standalone jar). Changing the standalone manifest version to a snapshot version has no effect.
It looks like the only solution for us is to delete do something in the outer loader to remove sling/felix/bundle0/bootstrapinstaller.ser if the standalone launchpad has been updated.
