I know HDMI cec will work (and that my television remote could control everything), but I'd like to use the amazon remote for it's smaller size and voice recognition feature and nothing else.

It doesn't work like that. You can use your TV's remote to control the FireTV, not the other way around. Also the voice recognition is for the Amazon services only, not xbmc.
Actually, it could work like that, if Amazon added such support. CEC is a two-way street.
Oops, I didn't realize that. The TV would also need to respect commands as well right? My LG calls CEC "Simplink", and it states how it's used for the TV remote to control other devices, not the other way around. Unfortunately for me it's not practical to use my TV remote because I can't hold down on the directional pad to make it scroll like I can with the FireTV remote. So any folder with a large collection of media is impractical to navigate. I have to push the button each time I want to move in a direction, also there is about a .5-1 second lag in response. Sticking with the FireTV remote. I actually like it anyway. If someone roots this thing and we can turn the record button into a CEC button to turn on/off my a TV that would be really neat. Not holding my breath though Sorry again for the misinformation.

I just tested the link and it is working. As most of my media is in Xvid/Divx this jitter is really stopping me from being able to enjoy spmc.
It's not just panning, but that's when it is extremely noticeable, any fast paced action scenes and even just fastforward/rewind are hiccupy compared to an x264. I tried watching a movie and you can almost forget that it's there on the occasion and then it will become painfully obvious in some scenes.
I'm upgrading from an old Xbox with xbmc4xbox which plays divx/xvid content flawlessly. Having a hard time convincing the girlfriend as to why the FireTV is so awesome when it doesn't play our content as well haha. She's gonna have to deal with it for now.
I'm not sure what the problem was on Saturday; I was getting an SQL error from the site. My divx/xvid files are showing similar symptoms though.
In my testing, it is only jittery if I skip forward or backward. It fixes it if I stop then resume playing or just don't skip forward/backward.
Did you see it during the panning sequences?
Can someone point me in the direction to get in touch with the guys that work on MediaCodec for XBMC? I'm a developer and would like to help try and get support for the FireTV working.
