Upgraded 19.10=>20.04lts beta with do-release-upgrade -d, today. Got two
times an ASCII window warning message like "grub failed to install. If
you continue, your system might not boot". Continued anyway and the
system still boots.

However, I can reproduce the error in console now via sudo grub-install -v 
--target=x86_64-efi --recheck /dev/sda resulting in:
      grub-install: (...)
      grub-install: info: Registering with EFI: distributor = `ubuntu', path = 
`\EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi', ESP at hostdisk//dev/sda,gpt1.
      grub-install: warning: Internal error.
      grub-install: error: failed to register the EFI boot entry: Operation not 
permitted.


This post seems related and points to efivarfs: 
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/379774/grub-installation-failed
The EFI firmware in my case is Hyper-V (WS2016 host).

Hope, this helps.
