Thanks!

If you drop the <os> section (which is what tells libvirt to boot via UEFI)
does your VM still work?

<os>
<type arch="x86_64" machine="pc-i440fx-bionic">hvm</type>
<loader readonly="yes" type="pflash">/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd</loader>
<nvram>/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram/vunft-1_VARS.fd</nvram>
</os>

Note that MAAS boots UEFI images with grub2[1], not pxeboot/ipxe/seabios;
so I think we can narrow down the
error to the non-uefi case which may help find the issue.
