So if it ain't broke don't fix it ;-). My usual practice is to just put the card back in camera after importing the images and then delete all in camera. It's not clear either whether other specific conditions can trigger a problem, for example attempting to view some images on the card while the buffer is still being cleared (light blinking). Sandisk cards are one brand (not the only brand) where problems are being reported and they are known to be counterfeited too. Worth keeping in mind that the incidence of problems reported to Leica Camera thus far is very low (<0.1% of M9/M9P sold).
