There was Vipin Malik's writeup at http://www.embeddedlinuxworks.com/ but that doesn't seem to be there any more. He was actually doing powerfail testing on JFFS/JFFS2 and making me fix it when it broke, but he also did some on CF, and obviously could do nothing when it broke. Software is _so_ much nicer.
