@cthorell, @fejd,
I consulted @rainisto on this and he suspects that the reason for the MTD partitioning being incorrect on your devices might be an upgrade gone wrong.
At some point the MTD partitioning scheme was changed, and when devices were upgraded to next PR level the MTD should have been partitioned accordingly but if there was some problem then the old partition layout could have been preserved on the devices.
It is worth rtying to reflash the device clean back to Closed Mode with --no-preserve flag added on the command line, this should repartition both MTD and EMMC and fix the problem.
My phone is RM-696 rev. 1507 (16GB black model)
Can you guys confirm you solved the "small partition" issue and how exactly?
BTW I can tether-boot Sailfish with this command in Linux:
flasher -k zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_301013 -l -b

Sometimes I have the same boot problem and now I know why
Do you think the same problem affects also backups? For example restore in open mode from a backup done in closed mode?

Now what I am thinking, it would be possible to make a tiny-version of ubiboot, with reduced maintanance mode (for example, no ssh, only telnet access) and if I strip it down enough it will fit onto 8M partition...

Loading up the BME module is not enough, it needs the DSME server also. However, that is not enough to work, it needs the DBUS framework and some additional crap around to work also...

I'll try reflashing again but this time with erase option which takes time, but should be better for the phone.Which image do you recommend flashing, anyway?

In that case, you need not flash the ubiboot kernel, since the kernel is same on both versions. Instead, you need to replace your ubiboot-02.035_SF_v1.cpio with the CPIO file for normal ubiboot, and also edit your ubiboot.conf accordingly.
