Sorry for the delay.

My opinion is that for these boards, there should actually be *no*
exception vectors at the start of the image, since it would never serve
any purpose anyway unless as you suggest we copy the vectors table from
the image to the actual vectors table location (or set the VBAR to the
image vector table location for those targets which allow it).

(and I don't think this is limited to the three boards discussed here.
IOW, the current exception/interrupt system in ARM U-Boot is FUBAR.)

As far as fixing the boards, Masahiro had posted a series where one
patch fixed the issue. I NAKed the submission for several reasons; I
had expected a followup (v3) which I failed to ping for. 

MAsahiro: do you have a v3 ready?
