Yes.

when erasing a .bb device (which you did above) should let barebox just skip the bad blocks.

You can mark blocks as bad using the 'nand' command.

barebox tries to erase a bad block at page 0x140 which is 0x140 * 2048 = 0xa0000. In the device trees I see the environment partition starts at 0x100000. Could you tell me which config you built, post the startup messages from barebox and the output of 'ls -l dev/nand0*'?
