I'm no expert, haven't done anything with partition tables, but, while you might not care about the file system, MicroPython does.
That's the area where users upload their '.py' programs to and MicroPython will initialise that if it thinks it's not present or looks that way through corruption. That could break what you have in Flash but I wouldn't have expected it to prevent MicroPython from continuing to execute unless from the B partition which could have been corrupted.
I can't see that MicroPython would only work if it is 'at address 0', and address translation would/should have an executing MicroPython think that's where it is no matter where in Flash.
I can't really give advice on specifics of how partitioning should be done or set-up as I've never tried it. But there's a weekend looming and the promise of a new adventure so I might know more in a few hours or days. But it might take some time to get up to speed.
