And after some discussion with Peter in IRC, he agrees with my
proposed fix. We're still using the legacy EFI access path here, which
may explain why nobody else has been reporting this. He's pushed a fix
for efivar issue#11 above, and I can confirm that it fixes all my
reported problems. I'd strongly recommend we take that ASAP!

Also, it's probably worth spending time to see why we're not using the
new non-legacy efivarfs path yet. I'm guessing it's just that nobody
has looked into it yet, but it's probably a bit too big a change to
make for Jessie right now. :-/
