So you mean the way installer to determine an EFI install or BIOS install is not reliable.

Is it possible for the installer to detect if the EFI system partition exists before doing grub-install?

I presume this partition is not created by grub, but is created by the partition program. If the previous installer program thinks the computer is EFI-boot ready, it should have made the partition available. If the installer could detect such partition's existence AFTER the partitioning, this situation would not happen.
