I general /boot on FAT is not supported, not just flash-kernel will have potential problems but also dpkg itself (hard links & atomic ops), kernel hooks, initramfs hooks etc. The cubietruck u-boot is more than capable of booting from an ext filesystem, so you should just do that, in fact everything should work in this mode out of the box, how did you end up with a FAT /boot? On platforms where u-boot is only capable of reading FAT the recommended approach is to use a dedicated FAT partition which is not normally mounted and use flash-kernel's Boot-Device option to cause the boot images to be copied to it.
