Thanks Gandalf, aha - hence the "ext2load" bit in the boot params. The
installer happily let me create ext4 for /boot - I wonder if it should
restrict this to ext2. It would be prudent for Martin to mention this
on his install page.
Anyhow, I put the SD card into my laptop, copied the files from /boot
(using rsync -av) and then created a new ext2 filesystem on the
partition, finally I copied the files back using rsync again. I put
the card back into the plug and sadly it still does not boot. An
md5sum comparison of the original files versus the ones on SD card
look fine.
printenv same as before. The error this time is:

Bad Magic Number
Do I have to re-install instead rather than use this shortcut?
When I put the card into my laptop, mount correctly reports it as ext2:
/dev/mmcblk1p1 on /media/1ed24136-5aae-4c36-a1b5-610ce24d7e4a type
ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)
