U-Boot fails to load from SD when a USB dual HDD device is attached

I'm running FreeBSD 13.1 on the Raspberry Pi 4B, with a new dual 
SATA-to-USB hard drive docking station, and I've noticed a peculiar 
situation: U-Boot fails to load FreeBSD from the SD card when the 
docking station is plugged in and has two hard drives in it (presenting 
two USB storage devices to U-Boot), but still succeeds when:

 1. the device is not attached;
 2. the device is attached but only has one hard drive in it, presenting
    one USB storage device to U-Boot;
 3. when the device with one hard drive in it, and another USB storage
    device, such as a flash drive, are plugged in.

Any clue what might be causing this problem? I wonder if this might be 
an issue with voltage sag/over-voltage on the USB interface causing the 
SD card not to select, or something similar, although the docking 
station has its own power supply and so should not be drawing a 
substantial current from the pi.

I've included what errors I collected through the serial interface.
