So use a pseudo-file-system which lets you store 8-bit data on such a device storing only 7-bit data.
It's no less sensible than taking a real flash device and hacking up a pseudo-file-system which makes it pretend to be a block device, then using a 'normal' file system on top of that.
It's just a shame that CF doesn't generally give you real access to the underlying flash and let you use a real file system designed for the purpose rather than its silly 'translation layer' :)
