Well, I think you can (in red-pill mode) set hildon-application-manager to not clear it's cache; you could then archive things from there.
Or if you do everything with apt-get, then the cache'll stay (until you do an apt-get clean, of course).

Truth be told, Nokia should be packaging up FIASCO images for SSU updates in the future. This one was mostly pushed to fix Modest-related battery consumption issues.

So, a full OS update would still be found in the cache after the auto-reboot? If a complete reflash is done, the new OS image might not be retrievable after restart? This concept is a bit annoying, a separate manner of file acquisition would be most helpful. Maybe a way to image the file system as you would image archive the current state of a regular desktop mechanical hard drive? Then the re-install or re-imageing would be done how? I've gotten used to being able to make a current-state image record of whatever computer I'm dealing with, this tablet complicates my process.

What in the world are you babbling about? The tablets complicate nothing, as the FIASCO images provided on tablets-dev are "current-state image records" of the OS releases that can be "re-imaged" by flashing the device with them.
As far as I can tell, you didn't get it the first time. Nokia will be providing full FIASCO images with future SSU updates (alongside the packaging-based updates pushed through the Application manager), and those FIASCO images are your "hardcopy" of the OS.
