I believe this is intended behavior of GRUB on UEFI, and has been like this for years:

As "cjwatson" said on the Debian #902928, I also don't believe UEFI allows us to easily check modifier state, as such I am not sure if any course of action is appropriate here.

Setting this to "Incomplete" to leave time for people to propose any action items, and downgrading severity to "Wishlist" (seems appropriate given this was open for 15 years).
