I see, but this may be a argument against having multiple ESPs (and thus against RAID1 on a UEFI system) in general, not against one specific way to update the ESPs.

I think I understand: I really hope a solution will be found, since saying goodbye to software RAID because of broken UEFI implementations would be a *huge* regression with respect to the (hackish, but working) BIOS support for software RAID... -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare!
