The issue w.r.t. cbfstool complaining is that in the header of the cbfs there is a field which states 8MiB rom. So you need to make an 8MiB file with that upper 1MiB cbfs at the top. It should then read properly. In other words: rom size != cbfs size.
I now know what you meant by the above - the CBFS header contains a value which defines the size of the file it comes as part of. The file size was wrong versus this value, so cbfstool couldn't read it properly.
I guess, therefore, that in the older generation of Chromebooks the header value was just 1 MB, hence why it had to be extracted with fmap_decode and dd. The new rom "format" negates the need to do that, which is nice. :)
