Paul, we have at least 2 different folks who can't reproduce your

Care to share your test scripts ?

Sure... the methodology is completely open and has been posted in

explore this?)

Well, another link never hurts the search results :)

Ah-ha, I reproduced your failure.  If I make up a concat uImage +

DTB,

rather than pass them separately, it fails to boot.  If you switch to
mainline U-Boot (v2012.10 or later) you get support for separate

image +

dtb (v2013.04 gives you bootz and zImage support).  v2013.04 will

work out of the box for BeagleBone-Black.

Just to confirm, my problems with mainline were with appended DTB also.
Separate DTB and zImage work fine (at least using u-boot v2013.04.)

That being said, appended DTB should still work, so there's a bug
hiding
someplace that needs to be found fixed.

Can you guys update your tests to test appended DTB also?

What is missing here is, 

CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB = y
CONFIG_ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT = y


And for the code which is required in case of appended DTB, please refer to the code
"arch/arm/boot/compressed/head.S"


Please __NOTE__ that these options are not enabled in default omap2plus_defconfig.


Thanks,
