Indeed problem was ~corrupted MyDocs-partition. I had repartitioned internal card with backupmenu+gparted and there was something happened to the vfat-partition. Even Fremantle can read it, u-boot can't.

Code:
#backup MyDocs (if needed)
#cp -r MyDocs/ MyDocs_backup

root
umount /home/user/MyDocs
#if 'device is busy' use:
#lsof /home/user/MyDocs
#kill 


mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1

#reboot to remount, or 
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs -o rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0133,rodir
exit
#roll backups back
#cp -a MyDocs_backup/. MyDocs
#You will get a lot of: "cannot preserve ownership of XXX #Operation not permitted" (because copying from ext to fat)
And then I got my entries visible on bootmenu.
