Some progress:

Using au-boot  GIT checkout of 9-2-2009 (one month old) I now have
different behaviour:
u-boot does report a link, but no longer the PCIe vendor id:

CPU:   AMCC PowerPC 460EX Rev. A at 800 MHz (PLB=200, OPB=100, EBC=100 MHz)
       Security/Kasumi support
       Bootstrap Option H - Boot ROM Location I2C (Addr 0x52)
       Internal PCI arbiter disabled
       32 kB I-Cache 32 kB D-Cache
Board: Canyonlands - AMCC PPC460EX Evaluation Board, 2*PCIe, Rev. 16
I2C:   ready
DTT:   1 is 44 C
DRAM:  512 MB (ECC not enabled, 400 MHz, CL3)
FLASH: 64 MB
NAND:  128 MiB
PCI:   Bus Dev VenId DevId Class Int
PCIE0: link is not up.
PCIE0: initialization as root-complex failed
PCIE1: successfully set as root-complex

Linux now correctly recognizes the device.
The FPGA with PCIe end point now also survives both a hard reset
(reset button) and soft reset (shutdown -r now in Linux).
