Comment(by wmb at firmworks.com):

 To test the fix for subproblem 1:

 a) Install Q2D08.

 b) Boot to the ok prompt, e.g. with a developer key or an unsecured laptop

 c) Type
 {{{
 ok dev /nandflash
 ok patch 0<> 0= get-existing-bbt
 ok dend
 ok dir n:\
 }}}
 You should see a normal NAND directory listing.

 Simulating the problem on a system with old firmware is tricky, so a
 recipe is not given here.

 To test subproblem 2, using an unsecured or developer key laptop:

 a) Obtain an OS image and corresponding .crc file, e.g os653.img and
 os653.crc.

 b) Download the attached "empty.zip" and prepare an extended .crc file by
 concatenating the existing .crc file with "empty.crc", as follows:
 {{{
 $ unzip empty.crc
 $ cat os653.crc empty.crc >os653x.crc
 }}}

 c) Put all three files - os653.img, os653.crc, and os653x.crc - in the
 root directory of a USB key.

 d) Reboot to the ok prompt and install the NAND image:
 {{{
 ok copy-nand u:\os653.img
 }}}
 e) Verify that the copy succeeded:
 {{{
 ok crc-nand u:\os653.crc
 }}}
 f) Verify the fix with:
 {{{
 ok crc-nand u:\os653x.crc
 }}}
 The verification should run for awhile, then eventually stop with the
 message:
 {{{
 No more good NAND blocks
 }}}
