I have been testing a library on a few ATtiny85 chips I purchased using the core at Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.
With the exact same breadboard circuit and chip, using the ATtiny85 @ 16MHz I have no problem uploading either the bootloader (Fuse settings) nor then uploading my sketch; however, when I attempt to upload the ATtiny85 @ 1MHz bootloader I get the following error message:
/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude -C/usr/share/arduino/hardware/tools/avrdude.conf -v -v -v -v -pattiny85 -cstk500v2 -Pusb -e -Uefuse:w:0xFF:m -Uhfuse:w:0xD7:m -Ulfuse:w:0x62:m
