Hi Tom,
Yes, but I know there's something even earlier than "Wonderful Blood" .
. .
about disintegrating human bodies, rather than the eucharist.

Caroline W. Bynum, Wonderful Blood (Philadelphia, 2007).
Bill Cook did his PhD on Peter Payne & the Hussites. He told me that
pigs eating the Eucharist was a polemical point in the polemics of
Hussites & Cattholics about communion under both species. (And Hus was
an early critic of the Wilsnack bleeding hosts.)

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and
culture
Carolyne Bynum has written a book on precisely the issue of
bodily resurrection in spite of whatever may have happened
to the body in the meantime (it was eaten by worms, which were eaten
by a chicken, which was eaten by another person . .. )
Relics would have been an issue for early christian martyrs, or for
those with a following who might be inclined to treat their remains as
such;
I believe Arnold of Brescia's ashes were thrown into a river to
prevent such an eventuality. (However, note that the ashes would
have qualified as relics!)
in the MA, though, it would primarily have been heretics who were
burned,
and those heretics were as often as not critical of the cult of
relics and would therefore uninterested in collecting ashes - in
addition
to the fact that any association with a condemned heretic was likely
to draw one under suspicion oneself.
