Yeah that's what I'm wondering too.. This is probably not the
right fix.. I'm also wondering that it should be possible to
make uImage also not work by setting loadaddr just before the
uncompressed kernel end.

You would assume that only the running code would not survive
relocation if some of it gets overwritten. But that should be
only the beginning, no idea why the need to relocate all the
way after the whole image?

If stack was overlapping the zImage, I could see it corrupt
the zImage but there not much happening between relocating
and restarting of the bootloader.
