The bootloader assumes the sizes of the partitions, so what you have now two different views of the same space which is hardly a good way of working. While it may be that more recent bootloaders on recent boards work, but I doubt this would work on older rb4xx boards. I would suggest that this need extensive testing before being put to general use.
