I have tried this against my 2.6.31 tree by uncommenting the following
in drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0001.c:40:
#define CMDSET0001_DISABLE_ERASE_SUSPEND_ON_WRITE
Now my test output looks like the following. Note that it ran
successfully from 3% - 53%, which is right in the range where problems
tend to appear.

The errors continued until the filesystem actually reported 100% full
and my script terminated. The entire 3%-100% operation took about 21
minutes for <32MiB, and was definitely much slower towards the end
with all the errors.
