I was using mainline u-boot at tag v2012.04.01 when I saw the errors.  

To check the bootloader, I upgraded to the latest mainline tag
(v2012.10) and the problems are gone on both 4430/Panda and
4460/Panda-ES...   Interesting.

That suggests that there's still some kernel assumptions/dependencies on
the bootloader that need to be addressed.
