Great!
Please clarify what hardware this was tested on :) If that's a Mac,
then it would be good to try on the other system that exposed issues
in our tests (ThinkPad X230 IIRC, see the blueprint for details) too.

Do you have any plans to push a Git branch that integrates
this workaround?

Well, 1.0 is supposed to be basically 0.23.1 relabeled, so I'm not
convinced it's a good idea to upgrade from syslinux v4 to v6, and
potentially trigger boot regressions, in that point-release. But it's
the RM's call, obviously.
