Just add the writing of the first byte to the TWDR register in the code. 
at91_twi.c is your friend around line 370 if I remember corretly.

        /* Set TWI Internal Address Register */
        outr(TWI_IADRR, iadr);
        /* Set the TWI Master Mode Register */
        outr(TWI_MMR, ((unsigned int) sla << TWI_DADR_LSB) | (((unsigned
int) iadrlen & 3) << 8));
        outb(TWI_THR, tw_mm_buf[0]);
        outr(TWI_IER, TWI_TXRDY);

My version of this code seems to directly set the first byte into TWI_THR
before enabling the interrupts.
But as you said, the code seems to work for up to five bytes. Let me guess:
You write 1 byte chip address, 2 bytes in-chip address and 2 byte of data,
where after the first data it again fails.

What I wonder about is, that the interrupt is coming so late that we cannot
even put a single byte into the THR register early enough. So either
interrupt-handling or buffer management is so slow, that it interrupts the
I2C communication.

Ok, in the stm implementation I think I use real buffer pointers, while in
the AT91 code there are indexes used. I need to check what assembler code
differences result of using buffer[i] instead of *bufptr++;

On the other hand, this is one of the shortest I2C interrupt handler I ever
wrote :)
