from what i understand a format should mark the bad blocks so they can be skipped. So if you do a task 28/29 again, does it still say you have bad blocks? i guess it would be nice to know if these blocks can be avoided by the boot-loader since it has the ability to detect em.

It will still say there are bad blocks, but you can ignore them. The reason is that Task 29 will still attempt to format every block, even if they have been marked as bad. Also, Task 28 performs the hard reset function, and Task 32 can be used to wipe the ROM area only.
NAND is almost always shipped with some bad blocks, and they are handled by the NAND controller. It is already doing the work of bypassing those blocks for you which is why everything says to not worry about them.
My thought would be more towards the SPL at this point. I'm wondering if some builds have validation that looks for the boot, RAWFS, IMGFS, and FAT partitions. I noticed that if I modify the NBH's that were working on my phone by removing the FAT partition, they fail to boot.
