First, thank you all for your help, I wouldn't have known where to begin without it.

Okay, I applied the patch, the relevant output reads

After reset status: 0040                                                        
ranks = 01, this is not the problem                                             
DIMM 0050 OFFSET 001f   
I rebuilt coreboot and it is running memtest right now.  Here are a few pictures I took of the screen:

Memtest starts...[1]
Memtest pauses for several minutes at 7%...[2]
Memtest gets to 17%...[3]
The screen goes crazy and coreboot reboots.[4]

Here is part of the serial log, showing the jump to the payload:

Notice that coreboot restarted in the middle.  The screen does not change now, it's holding the broken colored pattern.  It only restarted one time, which is at least different from the behavior with seabios or FILO, where it would keep restarting repeatedly.  The final tail of the serial output is this:
