>Is JFFS2 usable with Flex-OneNAND by design? I thought it would have to be able to handle paired pages to become MLC-compatible. Does it do that?

Yes it do that .
There are two things in Handling MLCs
1.Paired Page Handling
This is done in Flex-OneNAND Driver.
flexonenand_lsb_page_recovery will handle that in MLC area. 

2.NOP==1
This scenario has to be dealt in synchronization with JFFS2.
This is what i asked about. 
Pathces , in the links(above)are addressing this.
