Your bug is meant to be already fixed (#355252), but I see there are
some deviations between Debian and Ubuntu (which you seem to
maintain), I'm suspecting there might be problems with Debian code
which is only updated about 3 months ago.

I thought EFI should work with FAT (I was surprised to see blessing
can be applied to HFS+ also), which is the first partition on the
internal disk.

I'm hoping that I can switch default boot through some kind of nvram
setting.
