What U-Boot version are you using? 1.1.6? If yes, could you please give the 
current top-of-git version a try. There was a patch a few months ago, that 
fixed a problem where NAND writing aborted, when bad blocks were detected. So 
please give the current version a try and let me know if it helped.

I hope the patch mentioned above does apply without too much problems.

Best regards,
Stefan
