Installing updates released post-Switch 2 causes launch issues

(full disclosure, I have not been able to verify whether this's a case of nxdumptool not liking the new patches, or Goldleaf not installing them correctly. As such, I'm reporting it here first.)

Bug description

Dumped updates of games which received Switch 2-related patches (so far confirmed with Pokémon Violet 4.0.0 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 3.0.5) will seemingly dump correctly, but either not install, or not function if installed. Once the update is installed, attempting to launch the game will skip the User Selection screen entirely, after which the game promptly crashes.
Of note, is that both games received Switch 2 compatibility or enhancement patches, which evidently are messing with something.

There are three independent reports from different people. (all from the NH server)

Your setup

  • Console firmware: 20.1.1

  • CFW with version: Atmosphere 1.9.1

  • Goldleaf version: confirmed on 1.1.1, 1.1.0 and 1.0.0

Bug reproduction

  1. Dump the update from under sysCFW
  2. Install the update under emuMMC
