Nice catch. I will attempt this later today. Thanks! I almost trashed the camera thinking it was a lost cause. EDIT: Gave this a try. It worked well until I realized I forgot to add the original-bootloader.bin to the sdcard AFTER I erased /dev/mtd0. Now I am left with zero bootloader, so the camera is certainly trash material now. Lesson learned. If anyone else is in the position to have to do this procedure, MAKE SURE you have the original-bootloader on your sdcard before attempting this. I assumed it would pull it from the local folder on the computer. Don't make the same mistake.
You could still save it with a flash programmer, though it probably isn't worth it for a $20 camera.

My thoughts exactly. Simply not worth it.
I flashed dafang_128mb_v2.bin to my camera successfully. MD5 Sum of the downloaded file matches what is listed in the repository. Camera boots to uboot and gets stuck there. This camera uses a ZB25VQ128 flash and I guess that isn't supported. It's one of the cameras that requires cfw-1.2 to work properly.
I managed to load a demo.bin and flash the original bootloader back onto the camera to unbrick it. Here is the boot log from serial:
To anyone who runs into this problem, you can load your firmware off of your sd card like this
