Comment(by wmb at firmworks.com):

 bad.rom exactly matches Q3A07.ROM except for differences in the
 manufacturing data area.  Q3A07.ROM contains all FFs in the mfg data
 block, bad.rom contains non-FF data from 0xefd00 .. 0xeffff.  The data
 there doesn't look like valid mfg data, so I'm guessing that it is
 leftover from a conventional BIOS image that was in that SPI FLASH at some
 point.

 From the data provided, I can't explain all the symptoms, but it's pretty
 clear that this is not a problem with Q3A08, as the data in the ROM was
 pristine Q3A07 modulo the mfg data thing.
