Confirmed on Samsung Series 7.

I renamed /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi as /EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi to
confirm that no keystore or signature validation issues were at work
during the Secure Boot failures. This worked as expected, booting
win2k12 without issue. **Note that this test obviously makes grub
unavailable on reboot. I wouldn't suggest anyone attempt this with an
in-use install.

I then performed a clean install of 13.04 to backing out the signed grub
efi loaders and boot-repair changes, disabled os-probing and did a sudo
update-grub to clean up the loader menu.

Finally, my work around was also to rely on the EFI NVRAM configuration
but instead of simply relying on shuffling between HDD and "ubuntu", I
created new efibootmgr entries for Windows 8 and my recovery partition.
So effectively, I am now using the UEFI POST menu as a boot loader.

Hopefully, the Samsung nvram bug and the resulting (unwanted) attention
will mean a quick fix.
