Peter,

just a hint: you are aware that the MPC5554 BAM code expects certain
magics at the start of the flash, otherwise the flash block is
considered non-bootable.

wkr,

Thomas.

The MMU is setup in the debugger and at startup the MMU setup is skipped if a flag in low memory is clear.  That's the only difference in the behavior (see below), and I've never noted any differences before.

It was different, someone changed the setup to only set the supervisor mappings and not map certain sections executable but that didn't matter, I've duplicated those settings and it works the same way.
