We have implemented a mechanism to address this issue. You can find that in clonezilla-live-2.1.2-24-amd64 and clonezilla-live-20130723-raring-amd64. By default Clonezilla will update the boot entries in EFI NVRAM, and if you want to skip this action, you can enter expert mode, and choose "-iefi" option. Please test it and let us know the results. Thanks.
