Yeah, that's what it sounds like.

Can you reproduce the -EBADMSG with a simpler test case that leaves
UBI/UBIFS out of the equation?  Maybe enable write-verify in U-Boot
and try using "nand write" again, or use mtd-utils "nandwrite" from an
initramfs image then try to read back the data -- that should give a
simpler test case that shows whether the ECC handling of empty space
is wrong.

If so, that probably needs to be fixed at the MTD level, since it will
affect more than this particular UBIFS case.
