The MX53 ROM loads the data from NAND in multiples of pages and supports maximum page size of 4k. Thus, align the image and header to 4k to be safe from ROM bugs.

So what is the exact rule for the image start page in the FCB? Is it just 0x400 + 4096 + start page * page size? This does not seem to match table 7-12, unless 0 has a special meaning?
I believe it's '0 == offset 4096 in NAND',
You set the i.MX header to a size of 4096, then you add the 1024-byte FCB, so we're already at 5120.
do you happen to have board with 4k page NAND to verify this?
No. :(
