There is nothing special about the u-boot env. The parameters are in
human readable format if you dump the contents [or used to be last time
I looked].  And the fw_xxx tools just access the flash through the
normal MTD layer.  

With this in mind, can you access that block using the standard
utilities?  cat?  dd? einfo?  erase?  etc.  If not, your MTD
configuration for your board is broken.
