Yes. I have selected "Use MRC Cache in FMAP" in my config and yes I am working from upstream coreboot.
The console log specifies MRC cache not present. <snip> FMAP: base = ff000000 size = 1000000 #areas = 3 find_current_mrc_cache: could not find fast boot cache area FSP MRC cache not present.

Not having it would be a definite problem. Did you select "Use MRC Cache in FMAP"? If you did, that puts it outside of cbfs, so it wouldn't show up in that list. Are you working from upstream coreboot, or a tree from somewhere else?
