Try the next snapshot... I just fixed this in -current... or so I claim.
Please validate my claim. :)

Though unless there's a bunch of stuff where the boot loader fails and then
loads the shell, maybe not...

You need to check you ESP to make sure there's a bootx64.efi in \efi\boot\
as well... that would also kick you into the shell...
