SpaceFlight Now has a later story about the Astro-E launch with more details saying that most likely the satellite has already re-entered (if it ever achieved orbit). http://www.spaceflightnow.com/m5/astroe/000210failure.html I was mistaken about the shape of the planned orbit, which was to have been a low, eccentric orbit with a 200 km perigee and 549 km apogee.
