No luck with that either. > Well "BBB-ubuntu-13.10-2013-12-17-4gb" out of the box was just "designed" to run just off the microSD card... (no flasher in name) So... To make it flash the eMMC, boot once and: sudo touch /boot/uboot/flash-eMMC.txt and sudo touch /boot/uboot/run_boot-scripts (this second one was removed in later script..) then reboot... (it should flash... but that was 2013-12-17..)
