Ok back to that problem - after some time with other stuff. I then found "EMAC 
5282 Second U-Boot code release" which was just posted the day before:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/17178

I've tried to disable the cache or activate it the "new way" like in the u-boot 
code from the address above but no luck. I've also ported the serial 
initialization code from that code to a generice form which applies for the 
mcf5272 as well as the m5282. Might post a patch for that some time.

Using gdb with the BDM interface I find that the actual copying of the code to 
RAM succeeds but while clearing the BSS an exception happens as the system goes 
into the _fault endless loop.

Someone with a Motorola Coldfire 5272 cpu experienced the same and could give me 
a hint.
