The test for FUNC+PAGE isn't in the main P3 firmware - it's in the
bootloader. The bootloader code sits at the top of flash memory, and is
never changed by a normal firmware update.
On power-up, the bootloader code calculates a checksum for the main
program, and boots it up if it checks OK. If it fails the check, or if
FUNC+PAGE is held, then it presents the menu option to boot anyway, or to
wait for a sysex firmware update.
If it's not responding to FUNC+PAGE, that suggests that the switchboards
are not connected properly, or there's a fault in the interface logic.
