I think a work-around in mtd-utils is needed for sure. Because even if
we change the kernel, the change will only affect new kernels.

And I think changing the kernel is worthwhile too. It is extremely
unlikely, in my opinion, that someone relies on this illogical behavior
which happens only for zero-size partitions.  May be we can also
disallow zero-size partitions?
