As it turned out it was just the "skeleton.dtsi" problem after all - I
mean the fact that there where two device_type="memory" nodes in the
tree.

The decompressor's setprop()
(arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.c:12) uses libfdt's
fdt_setprop(), which correctly ignores the "@00000000" component of the
node name and sets the reg property as expected. So as long as there is
exactly one "memory[@address]" node in the tree,
CONFIG_ARM_ATAG_DTB_COMPAT is happy.

I will remove the /include/ from the dts files for VE (see below) in the
v3.3-rc1 based series.

Thanks for spotting this!
