So it appears on x86 hardware, even if running in EFI mode, booting from remote devices is often still in legacy BIOS mode... Rage mode on...

Oh boy... I think I may have fixed something in my OS install pipeline that has been producing weird results for a while... It's kind of obvious, but not so obvious/easy to track down as dealing with x86 firmware is a shitshow... If you're using UEFI, which you essentially need to these days as some hardware no longer supports legacy BIOS, even if claims to support legacy boot mode, it's lying to you, you need to ensure every step and action in the chain operates in true UEFI mode, not a pseudo mode like legacy boot mode....
