What's the nature of the corruption? For example is there too little data? How do you mean "flush of the write buffer"? 3 seconds sounds way too short to actually write the data. I presume you're unmounting the device before ejecting it? Note cp is just doing read/write so unlikely to be the issue. Note also cp reads/writes 128KiB at a time, whereas dd defaults to only 512B at a time and so may avoid async issues.
