"In the book "Relativity Einstein's Lost Frame" Rodrigo de Abreu and
Vasco Guerra make a profound investigation on the physical meaning of
Relativity Theory. They show that this theory is compatible with the
existence of a privileged frame,

DOA. The existence of a preferred frame of any sort violates Lorentz
invariance in the most obvious way possible.

From Page 19:http://arxiv.org/abs/0705.4146v2

"The notion that the special relativity formalism requires that the
speed of light be isotropic, that it be c in all frames, has persisted
for most of the last century. The actual situation is that it only
requires that the round trip speed be invariant. This means that the
famous Einstein light speed postulate is actually incorrect."

That is wrong.

Which leads me to think that absolute motion, special relativity
effects and Lorentz symmetry might all be compatible.

That is correct and all well-informed people here know that: it has
been discussed and re-explained for years (are you really new here?).
