Yes, the current u-boot doesn't work properly with the mains charger. 
I'm testing some patches that should improve u-boot's handling of 
deeply-discharged batteries, but it's still a work-in-progress. Watch 
the kernel list for updates.

For now, I would recommend to either use a USB cable to a PC or try 
holding the Aux button when you insert the charger cable (so that the 
NOR u-boot is loaded).
