To make a long story short, they claim that the MB will boot legacy

the problem.
To be fair to the motherboard manufacturer, this is a valid test. It is
entirely possible the UEFI implementation has only ever been tested with
Windows. It is a useful test to be able to see whether the system is
actually able to boot at all off removable media.
The issue at this stage is one of detecting a bootable device...it has to
do that before it can be booted, and in the case of my MB no legacy
bootable devices are detected, but UEFI bootable devices are.
If there is a convincing argument that the OS affects the detection of a
bootable device, I'll certainly try with Windows.
