Are you sure you specified the CCLK value correctly in the IAP call?
I've had success so far with partial page updates (for tracking device
state variables for restoration across reboots).  Of course, I haven't
done exhaustive testing, yet, so maybe I've just been lucky. 
 
Just out of curiosity, can you give a sample dataset that causes this
(flash/ram addresses and data, as well as your clock values)?  I'd like
to verify this potential problem before we hit production...
 
Thanks,

Partial page programming did not work for me either. I found that it 
sometimes works and sometimes corrupts. However the corruptions were
enough 
that I could never get 128k to load successfully.

Eventually I just modified my loader to program in 512byte pages.
