Bug#841297: grub-efi: no symbol table, ask for key on boot

Package: grub-efi
Version: 2.02~beta3-3
Followup-For: Bug #841297


+1 with this problem.
Seems like a cosmetic/nag problem, as computer seems to boot and run fine.
Fresh install of stretch from build 12/12/16.
Error appears and asks to press any key to continue.
If I just wait the boot will continue as normal and everything seems to run
fine.
I have figured out that this error is triggered with the grub command
load_video. If I edit entry and remove the line load_video, the error is gone.
The computer boots and runs fine with or without the load_video command.

My video.lst contains
efi_gop
efi_uga
video_bochs
video_cirrus

If I run
insmod efi_gop
insmod efi_uga
insmod video_bochs
insmod video_cirrus
on the grub interactive command mode, I get no errors.

When I run load_video, I get the error.

I will provide any requested information needed.

Thank You
