I couldn't find references to the GetNextVariableName() EFI call in the efibootmgr source code or in GRUB (although GRUB does seem to implement its own version, efiemu_get_next_variable_name(), for its own limited EFI-emulation code). I'd expect a consistent hang as seen in the test suite would prevent installation and/or booting of the server, too. There may be calls I haven't tracked down in other tools, though. Also, there might be more subtle flaws that can't be detected by the test because it's hanging before it might detect such problems.
