Never mind, consulting the SYSLINUX documentation confirmed for another time, native EFI boot is not supported even with secure boot disabled. As I said already, Legacy Boot on HP Probook 4540s (my latest purchase), does not work.
An alternative would be to use a minimal distribution to manage grub*. Something like Puppy comes to mind, or fsmithred's distro. Currently, I have Debian Jessie managing grub*; yes, unfortunately, it is with systemd. During installation, I noticed it is a far cry from being a minimal system as many packages I don't need were installed. I used debootstrap for the installation and only root exists as a user.
