For the record, the changes are now in U-Boot master:

Yay!  Thank you Stephen for driving this to a successful resolution.

Of course, boards won't be updated to the latest u-boot right away, nor 
will the enhanced mkimage tool be commonly available.

I should also note that Marek Vasut posted some patches to implement a
bootz command in U-Boot. This turned out to be much less invasive than
I originally thought, so once those patches are finalized, uImage might
be irrelevant except for initrds (U-Boot already accepts a raw FDT
without uImage wrapping for bootm and hence bootz).

Excellent!
