I've filed this as #496869 against bochsbios on advice from Aurelien.
The issue can apparently affect real BIOS implementations too, so a fix in
syslinux might be preferable; but I have no idea. Perhaps we could move
discussion of this issue to that bug to keep the maintainer (and aurel32) in
the loop.

Okay. I've asked the reporter to try a Webconverger disk (as it uses GRUB).
If this works, I will file a bug report and talk to upstream. I've also
mailed Julien Blache as he is rumoured to be knowledgable about MacBook
issues.
Presumably d-i would also break on these machines? From a cursory glance,
our syslinux configuration is not so different.
(Expect a short delay on this, as I am now on VAC for a few days)
