Robert, Have you resolved any of these mysteries in the mean time?
I got into this by trying to "bitbake" a simpler image, such as console-image, since I need no graphics or fancy webserver with node.js foo. So far I have failed to boot from the SD card with anything which has been made by the oebb.sh script or bitbake build system. Even Derek's 2-year-old instructions<http://derekmolloy.ie/building-angstrom-for-beaglebone-from-source/>seem not to work for "console-image". After I succeed at booting the BBB with my own custom image, I plan on updating u-boot to allow "fastboot", an feature more commonly supported by Android which allows one to boot or flash over USB, ethernet, etc. Maybe we can become free from SD cards in the near future for BBB development.
