In case my experience is useful to anyone else, it seems this is what was 
happening:

- RBL was enabling Timer0 and its FIQ - perhaps to flash an LED warning that I 
have no valid UBL on my NAND
- My JTAG connector lacks SRST so the board was not getting fully reset
- u-boot was loaded and run over JTAG (ignoring Timer0 + FIQ?)
- Linux starts, enables FIQ in boot_cpu_init() and crashes because it has not 
setup the interrupt vector tables yet.

I added a software disable and clear of interrupts over JTAG to my "reset" 
handler, and now I can boot.
