I guess so.

Well... should it read "U-Boot 1.3.2-moko12 (May 9 2008 - 10:28:48)"
on first line, then ? ... I'd expect something closer from now :-/

Same hopefully ;) :
GTA02v5 # version
U-Boot 1.3.2-moko12 (May 9 2008 - 10:28:48)

Tried it and get the same versions (means the link are OK on the
download site).
I thought about trying something :
# ./dfu-util -a u-boot -R -U current-uboot.bin
# strings current-uboot.bin | grep git
U-Boot 1.3.2+gitr18+64eb10cab8055084ae25ea4e73b66dd03cc1a0cb (Aug 4 2008 - 02:33:52)
Neo1973 Bootloader U-Boot 1.3.2+gitr18+64eb10cab8055084ae25ea4e73b66dd03cc1a0cb
So obviously, the version on u-boot's prompt is not meanlingful,
then... :(
Should I file a bug report ?
