I'm referring to the case where there is no OS installed at all (such as how they will arrive from the factory). There will be no OS running out of the UBIFS... instead it will boot into safe-mode which runs out of a RAM disk. Any changes you make to the running system will be lost on reboot. It is true that you can save files to the UBIFS while in safe mode (this is part of what makes it useful... access to the rootfs to attempt to fix them, or to recover data files before format). Any files written there will be persisted after a clean shutdown.
