That second link (the one you cut out from your quote) shows that Amazon did indeed go from a 5.6.1 to a 5.6.2.

I can't recall how FAT32 handles 'sparse' files, but try that first, just write the last (erase block size) block.
I.E:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=4096 seek=250K count=1 of=space_waste.txt

If FAT32 can do that without writing the 250K blocks that where skipped on output, it will be both faster and less wear on the flash (only one write command).
