avrdude is locking up?  Hmmm ... it'd sure be nice to run that under a
debugger and break into it and see what it's up to when it locks up.

Yes.  The -V flag actually disables the verify check.

Maybe.  Several folks have been bitten by this.  I don't really have
much experience with other programmers - do they always automatically
perform a chip erase before programming?

My personal preference is to not erase the chip by default.  I don't
tend to like it when programs do stuff like that without me explicitly
asking for it.
