This looks to be very similar that I reported in the first part of https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1039710
On BIOS-boots the EFI /sys mount is not present.

I've read #1039710, I can confirm about the syslog issue, /var/log/syslog has just one line in it.

Regarding GRUB failing to install, I forgot to mention how it actually looks like: a error screen, red, stating "Failed to mount /target/proc". The message is pretty misleading though, it's hardcoded in the template, and it can show up in various situations: when mkdir fails, or when mount fails, and for either /proc, /sys or /sys/firmware/efi/efivars...
