No I don't. I have noticed that there a few people that have hit the same problem on the 1280, but no solutions have shown up.
Well the source code for the bootloader C file does have support for the mega1280 bootloader ( https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/tree/master/hardware/arduino/bootloaders/stk500v2 ) but it's just a matter of someone knowing how to compile a bootloader to a hex file to create the needed HEX file for the mega1280 board. Sigh!
