Untrue. The hardware interface is identical for 4-bit SD and 4-bit MMC.
So if that part isn't working, it's because you either have a bug or
because you lack 4-bit MMC support entirely in u-boot.

All compliant cards above 2 GB require special handling. They use a
system identical to SDHC (except for the init). Check the specs (this
part is publicly available) or the Linux code.

Just to avoid some more confusion, MMCplus is the marketing name of the
full size MMC cards since version 4. So when discussing technical
attributes, the MMCplus/MMCmobile distinction is not that useful.
It's better to just call them v4. :)
