Good point. Indeed I boot u-boot-dtb.bin (the SPL is 
spl/arndale-spl.bin). So the Makefile does:
cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >u-boot-dtb.bin

I guess the address under which U-boot expects to find the attached dtb 
changes due to the non-discarding.

Does any of the Arndale people have an idea how to fix this?

Andre.
