Is it possible you have 4 chips, each of which are 512 MiB?
If that's not it, probably the ID table is wrong. Maybe they're using
the same ID for multiple sizes now (it's not exactly a large
numberspace), and expecting you to use ONFI or other ID bytes to
determine the actual size.
What does U-Boot print on boot, regarding NAND?
