SCF got it somewhat right in A Trip. So he probably knew that he could only refresh the luma RAM? I've never examined this closely, though. Maybe the black part at the left side of the screen "hides" some timing problems? Anyway, he doesn't have the "mixed" color like those other early FLI effects TLC mentioned above.
A-System did a "Luma-FLI" in To Be Ashamed in early 1991. Back then I didn't see this demo. Though, it was announced in some other production. Obviously, they were inspired by "Charlatan" by Solomon/Beyond Force and claimed to have done 40 raster splits  On a side note, Pit (or Ran) mentions in the scroll text that Ceekay ripped their FLI code.
I also liked Toxyc's Hard Death (coded in Spring, 1993) which featured an effect he refered to as "ECI split" but as far as I can tell without checking the code is also some kind of "Luma-FLI".
