It does.

For what it's worth, the ArchWiki page on Syslinux [1] says that UEFI
boot is broken in VirtualBox, referencing upstream bug #21 [2].

Sorry, what I meant was that the Linux kernel doesn't boot; the syslinux
menu is shown, but once a boot option is picked we get a completely
black screen, and the VirtualBox process starts churning at 100% CPU
with no sign of progress.
