Please note that after flushing, you have to wait a certain amount of time (in my case < 1s) to be able to write to Memcached again. If you don't, Memcached::set() will return 1, although your data is in fact not saved.

Memcache::flush — Elimina todos los elementos existentes en el servidor de caché
Memcache::flush() invalida inmediatamente todos los elementos existentes en el servidor de caché. Memcache::flush() no libera ningún recurso actualmente, solo marca todos los elementos como expirados, por lo que la memoria ocupada será reutilizada con nuevos elementos.
Esta función no tiene parámetros.
Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo con Memcache::flush()
<?php
/* API procedimental */
$memcache_obj = memcache_connect('memcache_host', 11211);
memcache_flush($memcache_obj);
/* API orientada a objetos */
$memcache_obj = new Memcache;
$memcache_obj->connect('memcache_host', 11211);
$memcache_obj->flush();
?>

From the memcached mailing list:
"The flush has a one second granularity. The flush will expire all items up to the ones set within the same second."
It is imperative to wait at least one second after flush() command before further actions like repopulating the cache. Ohterwise new items < 1 second after flush() would be invalidatet instantaneous.
Example:
<?php
$memcache->flush();
$time = time()+1; //one second future
while(time() < $time) {
//sleep
}
$memcache->set('key', 'value'); // repopulate the cache
?>
