[U-Boot] beaglxm/bootz: kernel boot fail due to align err: cache handling issues?

Hi, Noticed an interesting behavior where adding a dcache flush kernel boot fail due to unaligned-accesses seems to go away. Full details: http://pastebin.com/kVBRWsbE Without dcache flush being added to my uenvcmd:
Kernel image @ 0x80200000 [ 0x000000 - 0x3e2690 ] data abort
MAYBE you should read doc/README.arm-unaligned-accesses
pc : [<9ff6f6b4>] lr : [<9ff6ef6c>] sp : 9fefaaf0 ip : 9fefe8ec fp : 00000000 r10: 9ffa6544 r9 : 9ffa5e5c r8 : 9fefaf30 r7 : 0f800000 r6 : 9ffa6544 r5 : 9ffa65b0 r4 : 9ffa65b4 r3 : 00000049 r2 : 00000010 r1 : 00000000 r0 : 0f800000 Flags: nZCv IRQs off FIQs off Mode SVC_32 Resetting CPU ...
With dcache flush being added to my uenvcmd: complete boot
I think something of the form was highlighted here: http://marc.info/?l=u-boot&m=137276534624656&w=2
Not sure if there was any conclusion to the effect.
A quick tag bisect attempt was'nt too useful either.

There may still be an underline bug, but the "bootz ${loadaddr}" issue i showed in that post was fixed very late in the v2013.07, i forget the commit, it may have been a day or two right before.
So looking at your pastebin.com log: "U-Boot 2013.07-rc2-00044-g1d28a6a" it might be worthwhile to re-test with v2013.07 final, specially since your using bootz...
(I've already been shipping a bootz enabled u-boot v2013.07 for the beagle-xm to end users)..
Regards,

Arrgh... I must have been completely blind :( you are right, v2013.07 - still failed, BUT, v2013.10-rc1 just works fine. 2013.10-rc1-00029-g6612ab also works fine.
