Hi Nick,

You could try adding the -m option to nandwrite to mark the bad blocks.
    nandwrite -mn $dev $f
But it's risky.  I don't know if it's the correct thing to do, and if it
needlessly marks blocks as bad for some reason, I don't know how to
cancel that, though I assume it's possible.

In short, you're outside the scope of what I know.
