My diagnosis was wrong. Your EFI variables are accessible. How about
the output of 'efibootmgr'?

Can you post the Grub configuration of the failing setup? It should
show the past (good) configurations?

I have used that program to boot into a Linux kernel via its EFI stub,
but it is my least favorite option.
