Problems debugging

Hello everyone,

and happy Maundy Thursday. In the past weeks, I have been struggling with a pretty annoying behaviour of LPCXpresso debugging system.
After clicking the "Debug" button in the Quickstart view, I get welcomed with the following 2 error messages:

"Problem Occurred" window

Error in final launch sequence
  Failed to execute MI command:
  -target-download
Error message from debugger back end:
Error finishing flash operation
Error finishing flash operation

"Error reported by target" window

15: Target error from Commit Flash write
  15: Target error from Commit Flash write
  System rejected access at location 0x02001760 - verify Population of memory and peripherals

The error would occur on a semi-random time basis, and common actions like deleting the .launch files, replugging the probe, power-cycling the board etc are rarely effective (after several observations I'd say that they're pretty irrelevant).
The memory location mentioned in the error message varies too, although it would more or less consistently complain about the same chunk - 0x02001000 to 0x02003000 approximately.

My system is a Linux Mint 17.2 (based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS).
I'm running LPCXpresso 8.1.2 - I know it's not the latest but the problem was occurring with previous versions too.
The debugger probe I use is a LPCXpresso1549 board, flashed with the newest CMSIS-DAP firmware: v5.147.
The debugging target is a custom board featuring an LPC1549JBD64 and connects to the debugger with a standard Cortex Debug Connector (2x5 pins).
The target is powered through an external power supply, and the 3.3V regulator is capable of delivering up to 1A.

Here's the connection diagram for the pin headers:
1 - 3V3
3 - GND
5 - GND
7 - N.C.
9 - GND

2 - SWDIO (pin 44) pulled high
4 - SWCLK (pin 40) pulled low
6 - N.C.
8 - N.C.
10 - nRST (pin 45) pulled high

All pull-up/pull-down resistors are 10K.

Here is the output from the RedlinkServer terminal:

Most likely it is power issue. Programming the flash takes a lot more power... Use a scope to check what happens to the voltage when this error occurs.
