I didn't have time to play yesterday, so I haven't tried anything you
suggested yet.

Prior to that I managed to get the x-loader from 
  http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardRecovery#UART_recovery
working, though it inexplicably set the baud rate to 57600.

Anyway I now that that x-loader and a u-boot installed in the NAND flash and
my phone boots.
However resume-from-suspend doesn't work any more if the USB cable is not
attached.  This is with my 3.7 kernel which has been working reliably for
months.  So the x-loader must set something up which the kernel assumes, and
the old x-loader doesn't set it the same way.  So still more to investigate.

I suspect that is exactly what was happening.  I assumed I was booting entire
from SD card, but infact the MLO on the SD was never being used, so one I
accidentally corrupted the x-loader on NAND, it all stopped working.

Thank.  I'll let you know what I have it all figured out.
