Which is why I originally filed it as an RFE. But since then it's
become much more clearly a consistent corruption problem and as such
is sliding more toward design flaw then feature request. I mean, no
one ever says "hey feature request, let's not corrupt bootloader
partitions."

Well the out in the data corruption criteria is "document it", so even
if it doesn't get fixed there's more awareness...
