Just because it works fine skipping that step once, means nothing when it comes to future flashes. Do yourself a favor and start getting in the habit of better flashing procedures before things go wrong.
EDIT: Thanks flyers...you beat me to it.

Not to discredit or question your knowledge and contributions to the community, but this sounds like an old wives' tale to me. I've read this suggestion numerous times on this forum, but is there any real evidence to support this?
Why is data "left over" from earlier flashes on the OS partition of the ROM chip anyway? A hard reset/flash should reformat the OS partition, clearing the TFAT allocation table therefore making the filesystem represent all clusters as available for overwrite, not readable with valid data.
Old used clusters that haven't been overwritten yet by the fresh flash (but now marked as FREE [or BAD] in FAT) should never interfere with the current state of the ROM. Thoughts?

UC works fine on the 2/18 6.5, why would he not include it for 6.5.x?
