1) What version? In the 8 months since 6.03, there have been numerous
commits that might resolve this.  Let me know if you need a set of
test binaries.

2) What's the system?  The sole system I have confirmation of a
remaining EFI64 issue is a VMware VM with the e1000e NIC, in fact with
similar symptoms.
