Two things strike me as weird:

1) You're writing 32-bit words to the chip. At most it should be 16-bit 
words, possibly even 8-bits. Try mw.w and mw.b.

2) Your writes actually appear where you did them, as if the flash was 
already in write mode, which is highly unlikely, or if you had some 
cache enabled for this area of your address space.
