Yes, that is because . . . /uEnv.txt is the "real" uboot envoirnment file. You do not want to edit this file unless you know absolutely what you're doing. Really though, this file is not meant to be edited.
/boot/uEnv.txt is the second stage environment file, from which the first stage file loads various variables for various configuration options. Editing stuff in this file should not keep the board from booting. But it is possible to configure this file in a way that will leave the board unable to find it's proper kernel version.
