Dear CapperLabs,
Actually, you don't a SPI programmer for refreshing the bios. The only thing you need is a U-disk. And following the guidance, which is updated for a several version, won't create any problem in 95% user scenarios. The warning is released long term before. But hope you can understand and take care of the whole process according to the description to reduce the possibility of users, who skip some steps and create a unnecessary issue!
For your case, no worry. Even you meet with any problem after, we will manage and provide positive support to you! ;)

I've programmed ~30 latte panda's with the same USB stick. Today I went to program a new batch, I'm getting an error, "4C - Error: Rom File ROM layout is changed."
...Did something change?

Yes. Try latest BIOS programmer. Except the .bin files, the others are programmer application. We've upgraded programmer application. So please notice to upgrade it from our github.
