Hello Brad,
Although I am sharing my thoughts here, I afraid it may not be useful.
- I looked at your DTS file. I noticed that Sopc2DTS utility have neither arranged components in Alphabetical order nor arranged them according to Address order. This leads me to think that Sopc2DTS utility might be arranging components in the same order in which they are arranged in Qsys. Could you check whether my assumption is right or not? If this is, you can simply move your UART component above JTAG_UART in Qsys system without changing any of their configurations. I agree that this is not proper approach to tackle this issue. But this is just attempt to see whether it makes any difference.
- To download Linux Image, we are using (syntax may not be exactly correct) nios2-download -c <jtag cable name> <file-name> . Once it is downloaded, we are using nios2-terminal -c <jtag cable name>. Using this way, it uses JTAG UART for both downloading Linux Image and for Console output. I noticed in nios2-terminal help, that instead of -c we can use -port command to use UART instead of JTAG_UART for console output. In your case, how do you route console output to UART instead of JTAG_UART. It looks you are not using commands which I have mentioned here. Otherwise, you could have solved this issue.
