(Hi guys, just got back, been away for a while over the summer).

This particular issue was fixed in a patch by Peter Wippich on June 6th:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-June/036016.html

(I subsequently tested the patch and found it to fix the problem:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2011-June/036085.html).

I could test patch 1 of this set to see if it accomplishes the same thing,
but initially to me it seems that the issue has already been fixed, albeit
perhaps not pushed yet?
