The error in your log is:

Trying to migrate /boot/efi into esp config

It appears the 1.40.3 version of shim-signed had successfully been configured before this, and there are no packaging changes between 1.40.3 and 1.40.4. And there is no output to explain what has failed. Is this problem reproducible if you run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'?
