SwiftX MSP430 with MSP-FET430UIF USB Flash Emulation Tool

I've been trying out SwiftX MSP430 with TI's USB FET (MSP-FET430UIF).

I've found that it "mostly" works, I can choose the USB port for the
JTAG connection, and it correctly identifies the chip that is connected
to the FET. However when I attempt to program the flash (RELOAD/!)
SwiftX bombs with the Windows Application Error:

        The instruction at "0x004031ba" referenced memory at
        "0x0000ffff". The memory could not be "read".

On the SwiftX console I get:

        SwiftX MSP430 EVALUATION 3.2.20c
        CONNECT TARGET
        Initializing JTAG interface
        Target device identification: MSP430F20x3 ok
        
        reload
        Flash erase... Program...

and SwiftX bombs.

It looks as though the flash is being erased, but anything else that
wants to write to the device causes SwiftX to bomb. RESET, RESET-JTAG,
R., C@(J), W@(J) all seem to work, as well as DUMPC, but not C!(J),
W!(J) (which both bomb with the same error/address).

I've tried both on Windows 2000 SP4 and also on Windows XP SP2.

If the USB FET device is not currently supported, can/will that change
in the future? It looks like it's already very close!
