So, the poetic justice here is that, when somebody at Microsoft in the i18n department sends out a memo that 'Windows Boot Manager' is henceforth to be internationalized into the appropriate local language-glyphs, thereafter Windows 9 would refuse to install on the oh-sorry-purely-by-mistake 'buggy' firmware out there which only works when the bootstring is hardcoded in the usual English form.

Might even happen during the next win8 service pack, I suppose. Are those auto-download nowadays, installed behind the scenes at 3am by windows update? All the Lenovo and MSI and other boxen with such 'bugs' might wake up one Patch Tuesday unable to boot except in US/UK/Canada/Aussie/etc countries. Good thing we don't spell it manageur-vs-manager!
