Does pmbootstrap install the latest image?
Edit: See below responses, my info below is incorrect. Pmbootstrap DOES install the latest version or image.
Answering my own question - pmbootstrap does not load the latest version. I downloaded the latest and flashed it via dd (instructions for using dd are below) and it's obvious that the version that pmbootstrap uses is very old because many many things just don't work. However with the latest version, it is much more usable.
To flash the latest version with dd, it seems to be necessary to set blocksize to 1024 bytes. Also, you have to expand the root partition because it only allocates a gb or so. I used gparted to expand the root partition successfully. The dd command is below.
(dd bs=1024 if=imagefile of=/dev/mmbclk0 in my case)
