I can confirm this bug does exist. Attempting to boot on my Surface Pro
4 requires secure boot to be momentarily shut-off. SB actually is
reporting a secure boot violation for whatever reason. I have reason to
believe that the UEFI files are missing correct signing, or that signing
needs to be updated.

I have also seen SB failures with my Dell laptop with SB enabled, but
those are easier to work around than going nuclear on a Surface Pro and
shutting-off secure boot.

F31 and F32 are unaffected, this appears to have started with F33.
