And this is more or less what Microchip support says:
"The Bulk Erase requirement is a limitation of the chip and NOT of the
Programmer.

The Programming specification requires a Voltage of min. 2.7V for the

it's transparent.- If it's not there, and you can't see it, you erased
it. (from some mailing list)
