As this states:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/ubifs.html#L_ubifs_mlc

we have never tested UBIFS on MLC. UBIFS finds a corrupted node, just
out of the blue. This is probably related to read or program disturb.

I'd suggest you to investigate those aspects, write a small test program
to reproduce them. You should investigate these aspects. Paired page is
another aspect UBIFS does not support. I'd be happy to look at MLC
closer, but I do not have the HW.

Do you have your MLC Flash manual publicly available?
