Bug#1056764: grub-efi-amd64: can't boot with GRUB 2.12~rc1-12

Package: grub-efi-amd64
Version: 2.12-1
Followup-For: Bug #1056764
X-Debbugs-Cc: maddog at mir.com

Dear Maintainer,

FYI, I experienced a pretty similar problem today:  failure to boot after
upgrading to 2.12-1.

Machine:  Lenovo Thinkpad T460p
   BIOS:  2.36 (initially)
          UEFI boot (without SecureBoot enabled)

Upon reboot, after showing the Lenovo splash screen, the system would just
drop into the BIOS setup screen.  My eventual workaround was to boot into
rescue-mode via a Debian 12.5 installer on a USB flashdrive and reinstall
the older grub (bookworm's 2.06-etc) from that.

I did upgrade the BIOS after that (from 2.36 -> 2.37, via fwupdmgr), but
I do not remember if I tried grub 2.12-1 again after that.  (By then, I was
just wanting to get some work done.)
