Frankly, it appears that the main issue is the U-Boot that all of these distros use. It is clearly an older version meant for the prior hardware revision, which explains why the factory image works, but the exact same image re-flashed from Manjaro's git fails to boot - they clearly modified the U-Boot and and it's not the main version yet.

Anyway, first piece of advice for anyone getting a new Pinebook Pro: Flash Tow-Boot to the SPI then you can get busy.
