The default erase command applies on erase group unit, and simply round down to erase group size. When the start block is not aligned to erase group size (e.g. erasing partition) it causes unwanted erasing of the previous blocks, part of the same erase group (e.g. owned by other logical partition, or by the partition table itself).
To prevent this issue, a simple solution is to use TRIM as argument of the Erase command, which is usually supported with eMMC > 4.0, and allow to apply erase operation to write blocks instead of erase group
