Does anyone actually know what the felt gasket is for?

I too removed it from one of my units. Last time I checked there were no signs of stuff getting in. For some reason I have impression flow of air is preventing it. I easily can be wrong though so I will need to check again soon. What does inspection of yours shows?

I'll have to take a look at it tonight and get back to you.
