The problem has been resolved.
It would appear that two forces were at work. The older u-boot only
looked at 16 bits when determining the CPU type and could incorrectly
identify the various MPC85xx CPUs. The second issue was that the
MPC8544DS hardware was being deployed with incorrect jumper settings.
These jumpers relate to the CPU ID. Manufacturing never picked up on
this error because of the first problem.
So the latest u-boot is correct.
