That's such a goofy bug. It'd be fine to warn the user that /boot/efi
is somewhere other than either /boot or /  -  just let them know the
system won't boot if a device containing any of /boot/efi /boot or /
are missing (which should be obvious but I'll set that aside).
Consider that the installer will, without warning, upon selection of
2+ drives, will create a rootfs LV across all of those selected
drives. And of course if any of those drives are missing, not only
will you probably not boot but chances are you get irreparable file
system corruption. *shrug*
