If Corbyn survives, what do we think happens, especially at the top? Do the shadow ministers who resigned come crawling back or does he keep the latter-day 'Who? Who?' ministry?

I would think that if Corbyn survives, a big chunk of the PLP would have to to seriously reconsider their political future inside the party. With these levels of leader unpopularity within PLP it is very hard to see how the party could stay whole.
Well, they'd be free to create an out of touch elite establishment party instead. The world certainly needs another one of those.

Jeremy Corbyn Supported by Labour Party Members Across UK
By Joe Nerssessian
June 29 (Press Association) -- Jeremy Corbyn has been backed to continue as Labour leader by party members across the UK including those in the constituency of his rumoured challenger.
The signs of support come as research emerged revealing that eight out of 10 members who joined the party since he was elected would back him in a leadership challenge.
The study, conducted in May by Queen Mary University of London and the University of Sussex, also found 64% of members would reaffirm their support for the embattled leader.
-----------------------------
That was May.  It might have changed since.  

Blairite propaganda can probably reduce that, but the rank and file would probably reject Blairism again.

If you actually read his quote it's not unreasonable.

Labour Members Would Back Corbyn in Ballot 50%-47%: YouGov Poll
that's terrible for an incumbent. first poll is always the strongest, that's the baseline behavioral economics talks about. Eagle reaping through the soft left and unions will reap through this to 55-45 soon enough.

President Tom Dewey agrees.
