I think I've found a workaround. At some point installboot looks for an unused Boot000* variable. In my case all of those were already used, and several duplicated. So I had to boot Arch Linux and use efibootmgr to delete Boot0004 which in my case was duplicated and not used, something about NIC boot. After that I tried sysupgrade and everything worked fine. Hope it helps.
