That bug talks about not being able to chain-load to bootmgfw.efi 
using chain.c32 (or pxechn.c32) but
can SYSLINUX "core" boot today bootmgfw.efi? something like:
KERNEL /xx/yy/bootmgfw.efi

if it is not possible probably adding this capability to the core is the
first step to take.
was this issue discussed before somewhere else?
