I followed the specified steps directly on my RasPi3, and that did in fact make the uSD card bootable, as it should be. (The major difference is that I had to leave the firmware RPMs installed, instead of removing them, due to the %postun scriptlet in raspberrypi-firmware, which removes files from /boot/efi.) Since this has been shown to be a problem with the installer, I filed a bug report: boo#1172574. Thank you for your help.
