The two tools that create android boot images, mkbootimg and the fastboot client, set the kernel address by default to 0x10008000.
U-boot always honors this field, and will try to relocate the kernel to whatever value is set in the header, which won't be mapped to the actual RAM on most platforms, resulting in the kernel obviously not booting.
All the targets in U-Boot right now will download the android boot image to CONFIG_SYS_LOAD_ADDR, which means that it will already have been downloaded to some location that is suitable for execution.
In order to have the kernel booting even with the default boot image kernel address, if that address is used, just execute the kernel where it is.
