This is expeted.  u-boot doesn't pass bootargs when using 'go', only 'bootm'

You can also use 'make uImage' in the kernel source.  I've done a 'make uImage' 
with the latest git tree.  You can also grab the resultant uImage from 
ftp://hilman.org/omap730/uImage-2.6.16-rc5-omap1 to test on your board.

You might try updating your u-boot.  The version on my board (rev4) is 1.1.4. 
There should be a newer u-boot available on linux.omap.com (which is currently 
down.)
