Guess #1 - Your SoC is running with the SoCVDD set too low:

(Too low an internal VDD ruins the noise margins on the internal signals with the external effect of adding a bit of randomness to the device's function.)
In technically correct terms: "darned delicate".
Note that engineering change @ Freescale was made 6 months ago, but...
Such things take time to "trickle down" to the customer level.
Anyone here that can take a look at the Amazon released u-boot code and see if that two line change has made it into what the Kindle(s) are running?
