This is not surprising. ASD (at least at that time) sold relabeled parts
from other vendors. Maybe also 2nd source manufacturing.

It's not a problem of the flash chip, but...

... of the mainboard, or the BIOS code. Your flash chip has an optional
boot block protection mode. If that mode is active, programming in the
boot block and, this is what you observe, the chip erase instruction
(which would also erase the boot block) is ignored by the flash chip.
This also applies to the vendor flash tool, so please check that you
don't have flashing disabled by a jumper or a setup option.
