So is this confirming the the original AE had fibreglass insulation in it? If so that does make the teardown picture a bit alarming

Yup, I believe Yllvape confirmed it was fibreglass shortly after the news broke. Sounds like the earliest versions had a roll of uncovered fibreglass around the centre tube, newer versions added a layer of tape over the fibreglass, but all known versions prior to this recall had some form of fibreglass insulation.

Got my refund from the shop I bought the device from and gonna steer clear of the company from now on. Really liked my AE, but it is what it is, not taking risks with any suspect materials which may or may not be a health risk + the answer from the company is pathetic.
After reading this, I'm not losing any sleep over fiberglass surrounding the airpath of my AE, even if a lil leaks into the airpath.
But if anyone has any actual peer-reviewed science that contradicts these findings (largely from fiberglass plant employees who worked there for decades), I'm all ears.
For now, it seems like charred or well done meat is associated with worse outcomes. And then there is alcohol...

If God is the answer, then the question is wrong
The review you posted is from 2007, 4 years later NTP still reasonably considering fiber glass dust as anticipated carcinogenic, so maybe caution still a good advice related to inhaling fiberglass, despite your optimism
from
Fiberglass - Wikipedia
In June 2011, the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) removed from its Report on Carcinogens all biosoluble glass wool used in home and building insulation and for non-insulation products.[31] However, NTP still considers fibrous glass dust to be "reasonably anticipated [as] a human carcinogen (Certain Glass Wool Fibers (Inhalable))"
also: did a third party verify if it is indeed fiberglass and not something similar yet differently dangerous, like fiberceramic?
