This is only to be expected. U-Boot follows UNIX design rules:

"UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things,  because
that would also stop you from doing clever things."       - Doug Gwyn

Read the documentation again. See for example section "Memory Manage-
ment" in the README which explains pretty clear why  overwriting  the
memory  between  0x0000...0x2000  is  NOT a good idea while U-Boot is
running.
