Andrew, I went down this same path! No, the 5200 JTAG is quite different from 8xx and a little different from 8xxx so no version of the Wiggler will work, although Macraigor says they are planning to support 5200 soon.
When I was evaluating the 5200Lite I used the Motorola boot to load zImage.elf, and that let me play with linux. I hope Greenhills and Metrowerks are listening - their debuggers are unusable in IMHO. As a hardware designer I'm typically the guy who recommends a debugger to the programmers, so if they don't have a tool that lets you poke around without a whole project structure, they're not going to get my vote. So, another win for BDI, I guess.
