Well Macs implement pre-UEFI, EFI and at that something very proprietary.

Macs are using EFI 1.10

Any assumption about boot services behavior in Macs even though it's Intel platform can't be made for Windows PCs.

It's a nice find though on errant behavior of EFI. (Notice not blaming Apple here), it could be the UEFI UNDI driver by that IHV in the Mac itself not properly behaving.
