The filesystem can still be jailbroken regardless. Rather, without the 24kpwn exploit that was plugged, a jailbroken phone won't be able to reboot without being tethered to a PC or to at least a dongle that can issue a specific command via USB during reboot. So, you can jailbreak, but the result is more inconvenient since you need to take care not to let the battery die down and hope that there isn't a major crash that triggers a reboot outside of range of a PC/dongle to which to tether and get the device booted back up again.
