It depends on how you define "bootloader".  It is in the same segment and I 
would expect it to use the same programming routines, but it doesn't 
require entering a boot mode.

AFAIK those are the same method.  Programming via JTAG means copying to RAM 
and calling the IAP to do the actual programming.  This would be one of 
those places that hint at other possibilities.  I suspect that most of 
those hints are unintended.

I suspect that the 2119 documentation is correct.  As is often the case the 
documentation is lagging the silicon, and has its own errors.
