I have given a try. Here the mipsel initrd.gz (the qemu one dated 20071210) works. The mips one doesn't work, but I get a different error:

Freeing unused kernel memory: 132k freed Error -3 while decompressing!
802bbd80(7120)->812d3000(4096)
Error -3 while decompressing!
802bb9d4(7026)->8113e000(4096)

Looking at the size, the mips initrd.gz is 400kB smaller and I see no reason for that. Either mklibs is still broken on mips, or images are generated with the old buggy mklibs.
