Yeah 20230502 is the version I'm using too.

I can reproduce on all systems I have available, including my amd64
workstation and my arm64 Macbook M1. However, the issue is *not*
reproducible on a VM created with debvm-create.

One of the differences seem to be efivars support. Are you by any chance
running the commands in a VM or more in general on a system without
efivars? What's the output of the following?

 sudo dmesg | grep efivars:

I can reproduce on systems where the output looks like:

[    0.035071] efivars: Registered efivars operations

Whereas on the VM (issue NOT reproducible) the command does not give any
output.
