After much conversation with Drew and others, here is a much revised first-run JEP.

This seems like overly complex for what it is. Would it not make more sense to just add support for the popups at the interaction point, allow the users to dictate first run using provided storage?

It seems most of this could be done already or with modifications to existing code.
Notifications could be modified to popup at interaction points (statusbar, slider, menu, location, etc) and include inline HTML. Adding this as a programmatic feature rather then manifest dictation would increase its versatility (tutorial mode for a complex feature? UI Location specific notifications?).
Just some thoughts...

I have even added a very simple proof of concept first-run to Backpack.

(function(Backpack)
{
    Backpack.__defineSetter__('firstRun', function(f)
    {
        if(!jetpack.storage.simple) {
            jetpack.future.import("storage.simple");
        };

        if(jetpack.storage.simple.firstRunDone !== true) {
            jetpack.storage.simple.firstRunDone = true;
            f();
        };
    });
})(Backpack);

//// application code
Backpack.firstRun = function()
{
 jetpack.notification("Welcome to this Jetpack Feature");
