I reported the result in this thread:

Some knowledge about the BeMicro Dev Kit is taken as granted in the discussion. As jakobjones mentioned, there are many ways to access JTAG or AS interfaces with your own software tools. If compatibility with Altera programming tools is required, the choice is restricted. For an USB solution, you have USB Blaster clones and the said Arrow-USB-Blaster way.

P.S.: I performed the test with older FT2232C revision. I hope, the difference doesn't matter.
