This bug has to do with the EFI version of grub not supporting loading
real mode binaries.

You might be able to workarround this by using the chainloader mode to
bootstrap into another capable bootloader, and then launching memtest86
from the secondary loader.  The .iso image form of memtest86(+) could be
used for this.  However, I am uncertain if even this would work.
(Although, it is worth a try.)
