No, see my comment below.

That's not what the board I have on my desk says. I have a
MT29F2G08ABAEAH4, and I can tell you for sure this bit changes when I
enable/disable on-die ECC. Do the test, and you'll see...

See, that's what I'm complaining about. You keep saying things that
appear to be untrue when when we check on real HW parts. So, either we
have NANDs that are buggy, or you didn't check yourself.

Boris
