I checked a freshly built loader from HEAD and it works fine with U-
Boot 2008.10-rc2-00091-g2f4342b.

One other random thought: I don't know if you were altering your set-
up, but make sure the Ethernet cable is physically connected to the  
socket, whose MAC address you expect to be recognized/served by DHCP/
BOOTP. U-Boot silently switches to a next phy on the list in search  
for the active link if the given one is not active, so when the found-
to-be active does not match you could observe things like this...
