Unfortunately, it's not that uncommon. Lots of UEFI implementations
are really bad so far - testing seems to be essentially "does it work
with Windows?" and nothing more.
As already suggested, try running "efibootmgr -v" on the system and
see what it says. If needs be, use the installer in Rescue mode to get
there. With Jessie, I also added an option in Rescue mode to add a
"removable media" boot entry on your hard disk so that even really
brain-dead UEFI setups should still boot...
