After I booted into ArchLinux Phosh, I went ahead and wiped out the eMMC as per the wiki, so I can't test that anymore. But, it DID boot to SD without pushing any buttons at all.
+1 - I never pressed RE, and have run five different OSes from my SD card in the two days I've had my PPP. Happily booting back into the default OS just by removing the SD card.

The preloaded manjaro has a special version of uboot that will check SD First before booting itself , but if you wipe it and nothing is on the emmc then the SD will also boot ,
if you flash something else to the emmc then the SD won't boot and if it brick then you need to press the reset button under the cover to boot back on a sd card .. so yeah really easy in all scenario
This appears to answer the riddle, but perhaps this should be documented clearly somewhere so it's not so mysterious to users?
