avrdude done. Thank you.
The same issue occurs with all the Arduino AVR Boards I tested (every ATmega328P, ATmega168, ATmega32U4, and ATmega2560 based board in boards.txt) except for Gemma (which is unaffected by this issue or the patch).
Using the same programmer with avrdude 6.0.1-arduino5 works correctly.
The issue is caused by:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?46759
It is fixed by modifying avrdude.conf according to this patch:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/index.php?8996
I applied the patch to the "Arduino AVR Boards" platform 1.6.12 avrdude.conf (attached: avrdude.conf.txt) and modified the unlock_bits and lock_bits in boards.txt (attached:boards.txt), which has extended_fuses values also modified according to arduino/Arduino#5182.
With those modifications in place, I did a Tools > Burn Bootloader on every ATmega328P, ATmega168, ATmega32U4, ATmega2560 based board in boards.txt using Atmel AVRISP mkII, USBasp, Arduino as ISP and USBtinyISP. I was unable to completely test the lock_bits with my USBtinyISP because it's been failing verification of larger hex files lately for some reason but that issue is happening universally and so is not specific to this test or avrdude 6.3.0-arduino2. I was able to successfully burn ATmega328P and ATmega168 based boards with the USBtinyISP.
The disadvantage I see to applying the patch to avrdude.conf is this will break any 3rd party boards platforms that use the affected MCUs and Arduino's avrdude.conf. In order to fix this and maintain backwards compatibility with previous Arduino AVR Boards versions they will need to specify their own avrdude tool (EDIT: I had assumed this patch required a recent AVRDUDE version but this may not be the case?) in the JSON file, as well as include it with manual installation files, and include their own avrdude.conf file. Some of these packages will already need to do this due to arduino/Arduino#5175.
