Unfortunately, this problem still exists in 11.10. I have a Macbook Air 2,1 (MBA21.0075.B05) that now requires 5 attempts to boot after installing 11.10.
To make matters worse, I can't perform the fix (flashing the EFI firmware) because Apple doesn't have the EFI firmware for my Macbook Air on their support site: https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1237

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
