It seems that the generic code always passes -1 with PAGEPROG, and only
provides the actual page address on SEQIN.

I don't think the ECC readback is needed, and the fact that it looks like
it has always been broken would seem to confirm that.  It's broken in
other ways, too -- it assumes a particular ECC layout.  Let's get rid of it.

As for the corruption, could it be degradation from repeated reads of that
one page?

Hmm, 2.6.31... it's probably not related to this problem, but you
should cherry pick b3a70f0bc32d1b70584bcaa6019fa4260b0da92e and
