Yes, I am aware of this.
I noticed this problems about six months ago.
The environment vairable "baudrate" is read
before SPI is initialized and that means
that you cannot get the value when
the environment is in a dataflash. 
I do not know if this affects the operation
if the environment is in normal flash.
