Not that I'm aware of, though I haven't experimented too much with this. It's definitely not happening in that snippet that you shared - the message you see there is from a uImage wrapper around a kernel image.

I feel like erasing the first 128kB of mmcblk0boot0 is not the safest method/idea, even though it might would work out all just fine!
TM501 is indeed the test point that you want for a KV, I'll update that post when I get the chance. Deleting the first 128K is safe, the scary warning is there to stop people from nuking the entire partition and losing their idme variables in the process.
