Since these parts are officially still sampling then the earlier parts 
would logically have the 2138 bootloader as the Philips engineers would 
know this would work, the 2148 being the same as the 2138 but with some 
enhancements. The part ID is a very minor thing in what are essentially 
prototypes so I guess they may have overlooked it or there may have been 
lack of communication between the engineers, production, and sales 
(yeah, it works).

The fact that my chips which were supplied quite some time ago have the 
proper bootloader indicates that Philips has attended to this minor 
hiccup (this one at least).

I would be interested to hear more about bootloader corruption as I have 
not experienced this myself. Unlike you, I am "unfortunate" not to have 
a bunch of students invoking the uninvocable :) :)
