The trusted dump comes unmodified from the 2nd CPU SRAM, didn't really see the point in keeping the bad one around in this instance, just documented what we saw.
anyway the actual answer to the question is that they'll only REALLY be considered working if the current Pull Request (https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/2500) gets merged in before the 'freeze period' for the release*. If not, there's a 1-byte error in the World Rally 2 rom (also reversed stereo channels) and the Touch + Go high score table doesn't initialize properly.
(* looks at this point like it WILL make it)
