Details:
Seems that this behavior should be either documented or fixed:
# grub-mkimage -O x86_64-efi -m memdisk.tar -p "(memdisk)/grub" -o BOOTx64.EFI
memdisk tar
# strings -a BOOTx64.EFI | grep '(memdisk)'
(memdisk)/grub
# grub-mkimage -O x86_64-efi -p "(memdisk)/grub" -m memdisk.tar -o BOOTx64.EFI
memdisk tar
# strings -a BOOTx64.EFI | grep '(memdisk)'
(memdisk)/boot/grub
Relevant snippet from util/grub-mkimage.c:
case 'm':
if (arguments->memdisk)
free (arguments->memdisk);
arguments->memdisk = xstrdup (arg);
if (arguments->prefix)
free (arguments->prefix);
arguments->prefix = xstrdup ("(memdisk)/boot/grub");
break;
