I see similar problems (with Debian Testing running on both 32-bit or 64-bit 
systems).  I am sorry to report that I have to use my (work provided) Windows 
laptop to get reliable flashing (and, even then, I have to remove almost all 
the existing USB devices and reboot Windows first, and tell Nokia PC Suite to 
exit).

I will try to do some more testing later, get some logs and report this as  a 
bug.  So far, I have only ever noticed it when I am in a hurry to get the 
device reflashed and I just go back to using Windows!
