Hi Michael, I spent a couple hours extensively testing, bottom line, it worked perfectly for me, I could not reproduce your "too big device loop0" etc. error after reverting back to 1.2.6.1 .
The details ... I dusted off an old Jetway NF96FL-525-LF with a 1 GB Emphase IDE DOM, a geni586-serial image with Asterisk 11. Since the box had an old version, I first upgraded to 1.2.6.1 extracted from the mirror.astlinux-project.org repository (I had to use an intermediate private repo to set the 'ver' file) All went well. I then upgraded using the Repository URL: http://mirror.astlinux-project.org/ast11-firmware-1.x to upgrade to 1.2.7 . All went well. I then reverted to the previous image (1.2.6.1), worked fine. I went back and forth several times, using both reboot and kernel-reboot. All worked. So then I started of scratch, I dd'ed the 1.2.6.1 Installer ISO to a USB drive, persuaded the Jetway BIOS to boot from USB and installed a fresh 1.2.6.1 via the AstLinux Installer (wow, that IDE DOM is very slow). I did a Initial configuration as normal, and 1.2.6.1 was running. I then upgraded to 1.2.7, reverted back to 1.2.6.1, back and forth several times, using both reboot and kernel-reboot. All worked. So, I don't know what to tell you Michael. Possibly you might want to try "dosfsck" to try to find any errors on your /dev/sda1 FAT16 partition. You may also try while in 1.2.7 "upgrade-RUNNIX-image upgrade" to install the latest RUNNIX bootloader, but I don't think that is the issue, but no harm to try. Hopefully these details may help you.
