So I've been mostly playing with modifying gaia apps (as I said earlier, to maintain changes that wouldn't ever make it upstream).
The flame v180 eng(!) build with user(!) gecko/gaia flashed has all gaia apps in /system/b2g/webapps and /data/local/webapps/ only contains uuid-folder names, i.e. non-gaia apps. The changes somehow didn't surface when I changed the ZIPs in /system/b2g/webapps/.
