I must say that I am thoroughly confused by Charles' logs at the head of
this bug report.  Yes, perhaps it may be a misdetection problem, but the
logs say that he is booting an EFI system on an MBR-formatted disk with
an NTFS filesystem on the first partition.  Frankly, I'm wondering
whether that was actually meant to be an EFI System Partition at all!

That said, and in the absence of any other logs, I'll arrange to not
format ESPs with existing filesystems for 12.04; it seems the least of
the menu of available evils.
