If only. :)

The device does take some time to perform the command, and the data is
indeed gone after the command has completed. So there is no doubt that
the sector gets erased.

It might simply be that so few (no?) SD/MMC readers actually implement
these commands, so the card vendors haven't bothered implementing any
decent handling of them.
