In one of your other bugs about Today scope display issues [1], I think
you mentioned that you made the rootfs "/" read-write (in order to
change the default scope background as I recall).

Doing this is inherently dangerous and can cause all kinds of problems
that are essentially impossible to track down and are not real. The
problem is that over-the-air updates are applied as diffs to files. Any
file that has been modified and that gets an update is thereafter broken
with no recovery path short of reflashing the rootfs. I am not saying
that this is the cause of this bug. I am saying that by modifying the
rootfs you open the door to this possibility.
