The message prints wrong offset (offs +=... should be after the message).
%llx does not necessarily match loff_t type.
You forgot to increment block_offset, thus you can run off the MTD.

How about this?

        while (1) {
                loff_t offs;
                if (block_offset >= meminfo->size)
                        bb_error_msg_and_die("not enough space in MTD device");
                offs = block_offset;
                if (xioctl(fd, MEMGETBADBLOCK, &offs) == 0)
                        return block_offset;
                /* ioctl returned 1 = "bad block" */
                printf("Skipping bad block at 0x%08x\n", block_offset);
                block_offset += meminfo->erasesize;
        }

Applied with a few changes:
