It would help if you provide at least a tiny bit of information about
your system, like which architecture / SoC // board you are using, and
especially which exact version of U-Boot you are talking about.

The thing is, I cannot reproduce the behaviour you report.

Test on "canyonlands" (PPC):

	=> tftp 400000 foo/bar
	Waiting for PHY auto negotiation to complete... done
	ENET Speed is 1000 Mbps - FULL duplex connection (EMAC0)
	Using ppc_4xx_eth0 device
	TFTP from server 192.168.1.1; our IP address is 192.168.100.6
	Filename 'foo/bar'.
	Load address: 0x400000
	Loading: T 
	TFTP error: 'File not found' (1)
	Not retrying...
