I'm sorry I jumped on you like this :(

I thought you were asking about what was happening in Tails 1.4 when you
were actually asking about what was happening in the design on the
blueprint.

Yes, 2) being "Click 'Start' button" on the blueprint (we're not
actually 'starting Tails' if the password is wrong), see the note in the
"flow" section: "The buttons at the bottom unlock the persistence when
clicked. If the password is wrong then a warning appears and we don't
change screen".

Not yet.

It's the one we have for the moment. I think that with the state of the
design that we have on the blueprint, it felt superfluous to have a
dedicated button to unlock persistence.
