Greg,

Actually, I'm not sure. I have not thought about it or researched it but flash and eeprom should have different bootstrap requirements and, therefore, separate erase routines... Flash is erased as a block and, as I remember, eeprom is erased byte by byte.

Maybe someone out there has actually done this?

I'll look in the documentation this weekend (I'm a bit busy right now). However, it is an interesting question...
