If we do this, rather than re-invent the wheel, does anyone have any suggestions on a very small and simple existing library that we could bring in to do this?
If what you want is a small graphics/font system then I'd recommend the work stb libraries from http://nothings.org. He's got an image loader that comes in at around 40k of x86 binary, which supports PNG, JPEG, GIF etc... and a .ttf render of around 2,000 lines of code (not sure of the compiled size). They're all public domain licensed, well maintained, and have no external dependencies. They're not the fastest, but they are the smallest that I've seen.
Whether it's a good idea to load such additional features into U-Boot or not, I don't really know.
