Oops? This is expected and normal behaviour. Did anybody complain
about this?

High memory means leave them in flash?

Then you will probably see nice crashes as soon as you erase U-Boot
for example to install a new version.

All references to flash memory must be relocated to RAM, including the
exception vectors, of course.

I don't think so. Seems to introduce a bug.
