This is a great example of why, if you aren't sure of the answer, you should
simply stay quiet and let someone who is sure answer. Publicly saying "I
don't know." doesn't answer the question, and answering it wrong simply adds
to the confusion.

True. 6.0.4 is compatible with everything 6.0.3 was compatible with, plus
the IIci and the Portable. I haven't tried it on my 512ke yet, but I expect
it'll work there, too, since 6.0.3 works.

Yes, they *did* fix it. It's in the release notes somewhere.
