Edit to say, also see this great post from MountainBear (just in case you selectively missed it before reading my question)

I have no idea what level of ACARS reporting Malaysian has but.....

ACARS is not all knowing. If there is un-annuciated fire, ACARS will not know about it and will not report it.

How could it?
