Why would you copy more than one subroutine in RAM? The only thing you will want in RAM is the code that actually programs the flash. The amount of memory doesn't allow for allocating large fixed buffers for this.
the MSP430 can program itself when executing from flash. the flash controler handles that nicely.
of course, it's a problem if you want to program the entire flash, but then updating only parts of a program is tricky anyway.
right now, i'm implementing my own BSL (compatible with TI's BSL) that resides in the top 2kB of flash, which i won't delete in upgrades. (it currently is slightly larger than 1kB. maybe i'll reserve only 1.5kB)
