Yes. There is another flash between the two. The chip is
bootblock-protected unless PIN30 is pulled up to 12V. I forgot that and
flashrom failed to complete flashing. I flashed again with that PIN wired
to 12V and send you the log of the successful flash. So I guess flashrom
only flashed bootblock this time.
