Can Spell Strike be used to deliver spells through Flame Blade?
Flame Blade is not a weapon, it is a weapon like spell effect so, no you cannot Spell Strike through it.
The part of the rule(s) being used in the argument comes from the description of the flame blade that states: "You wield this blade-like beam as if it were a scimitar."
The stated implication being that wielding it like a scimitar means it is a weapon, and the spell strike can be used because the description of spell strike states "he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack".
Is there precedence for this that we could use to resolve this one way or another?

I would say that if you are wielding it like a 1h weapon, then feats that apply to that 1h weapon [like Dervish Dance], and special abilities that apply to that 1h weapon, apply to it too. So I would say yes, in the same way that a lot of people say that a monk loses AC bonus class feature if he wields a Ring of Force Shield because it is used as a shield.
