Perhaps this is not a special case of FreeBSD guest, since the latest
versions of FreeBSD are loaded normally in other UEFI systems (e.g
Virtualbox, KVM). For example someone from CBSD Telegram chat reported
a similar problem for OpenIndiana 2018 ( which uses FreeBSD loader
however) in bhyve.
Thus, perhaps the root of this problem should be sought in
uefi-edk2-bhyve the package. Latest CBSD release (12.0.1) fixed this
problem by disabling serial console. However, CBSD uses an alternative
boot method  for bhyve ( uefi-edk2-bhyve + reFIND )
