I'm not sure whether I understand you correctly. When using Genode 16.08
I do not get a "genode.img" file out of the build process.

I assume that your genode.img is equivalent to the uImage file built
when enabling the u-boot run-tool plugin?
Given that in u-boot you are loading the OS via "bootm XXX" you have to
use an u-boot compliant image and not an ELF file. When using an u-boot
image, u-boot copies everything (except the header) to the physical
address given in the u-boot image header, and then jumps to the
entrypoint address given by the same header. In contrast, when using an
ELF file, you have to use the "bootelf" command within the u-boot
commandline.
Anyway, the u-boot image is generated by our run-tool (when enabled via
RUN_OPT) out of the image.elf file. Thereby, the used memory areas after
the process of loading by u-boot, should be the same. The loading itself
should succeed, as long as you are using the memory area to hand over
the image to u-boot (either ELF or u-boot image)

Stefan
