That is correct.

The Arduino Uno is guaranteed to work with the Arduino IDE. That may be my advice, going from this point on - just buy an Arduino Uno from Radio Shack, program its chip with whatever flavor of MPGuino is desirable, then swap the chips around between the Uno and the MPGuino board.

Yes. The 328P has picopower energy saving support built in, while the 328 does not. There are a few other differences, such as the signature byte issue you discovered, and the addition of a few extra machine instructions in the 328P, but these are not going to be show-stoppers. Both chips are pin-compatible with each other, and you should have not problem using the 328 in your JBD board.

I will have to check to ensure this is the case, as I do not have any 328-PU chips floating about right now. Give me a week to order a 328-PU chip, and check it with my Uno.

Your syntax looks correct, and the parameter should be case-insensitive. I just think that this is one feature that was specified in the Arduino IDE, but that is not actually supported. This sort of thing happens from time to time, where a really obscure function is specified for support, and may have actually worked once, but stopped working after a while due to various upgrades to other, more visible parts. It even happened with my code, as I revised and revised it.

I will continue to help until we get this working together. I thank you for your continued patience.
