I still don't know what happened, but it seems my "erase sector" procedure received the area it was supposed to erase over the USB wire, then went out of control and erased the whole flash, boot loader and everything (I said erase ONE sector, only one!!!). My daily driver 50g is officially dead (for now anyway, I might try a JTAG reanimation procedure next weekend).
