This is a problem with the sd driver in the ancient version of u-boot
we've been using on rpi.  It works fine on some cards, fails on others.
 I found that the latest mainline u-boot now supports rpi well and
doesn't have this problem anymore, and we've just been waiting for the
u-boot project to make their final 2015.10 release, which they did
yesterday.  The updates to the u-boot-rpi port should be committed
today, and the next set of rpi images (later this week) should work
more reliably.
