I see this timeout problem on my mpc8343 port, using 1.1.4 network code.

Prior to my workaround, it happened on 99% of the tftp transfers. My 
u-boot test network is tiny (3 machines, 100 Mbps), and has almost no 
traffic on it.  The bug appears when code optimization (-Os) is on, but 
does not occur with no optimization.

My workaround was to add a delay of 100 usec at the bottom of the 
receive polling loop (in net/net.c, I believe.)  A delay of 10 usec did 
not cure the symptom.
