As Lance has noted, this is almost certainly a tags corruption issue that will 
get sorted out once the mtd oobavail handling is fixed (ETA before the end of 
the year).

In the mean time you need to work around this by shifting bytes around so that 
the mtd and YAFFS oob handling don't stomp on eachother.
