Yes, your concept is step in the right direction. I did a like thing by 7z-ipping the freshly installed FPSC and also 7z-zipping FPSC again with update supplied (without using the base installation).
Unfortunately, I can't help feeling that installing an update may or may not alter registry entries for FPSC, thus, we may still end up with a confused FPSC after a file-only-based restore in some cases.
The best way may be to have a vmware based clean install of XP, DX9, FPSC, copy the "cold" container as your virtual work machine and only work inside there. Messing up only will entail copying the clean base container as your new work container.
