The problem comes if I want to flash Mobian to EMMC. I tried flashing JumpDrive to MicroSD, but if I try to boot the phone with that MicroSD inserted, nothing happens. And I mean literally nothing - the phone won't even switch on. I tried the flash with Etcher and again using dd, with the same result for both.

Odd - presume JumpDrive has yet to receive the memory fix but don't have a 3Gb phone to test that theory myself. Checking the download site it seems you need the 0.6 alpha version.
IMHO JumpDrive is preferred, but if you get mobian booted from an SDcard then you could dd the image from there to /dev/mmcblk2
