OK.

OK. That's surprising, any I imagine annoying for you. :-/
If you're prepared to help with testing the problem here (please!),
could you please:
1. run "mokutil --set-verbosity true" from the Linux command line (as
root)
2. put the fbx64.efi file in place again (grub-install should do that)
3. reboot and try to capture any output
As you've already seen, the firmware on your machine seems buggy and
it looks like we might have found more edges in the new version of
shim. :-/
