Would like to update with some more observations; firstly with reference to original bug description regarding the workaround to get Ubuntu booting using EFI mode on this hardware: Boot-Repairs recommended fix wants to apply "rename bootloader" and after going for reinstalltion of Ubuntu using 13.04 amd desktop .iso made the conscious decision not to apply this which gives a seperate Ubuntu directory in ESP and boots just fine! This was attempted after reading http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/bootrepair.html which mentions a few problems relating to this situation of being unable to install using EFI mode. Perhaps Rod Smith is the man to ask about how to get Ubuntu installing EFI mode on this hardware!? His webpages are a very reliable source of information regarding all things U/EFI! Secondly regards to my last comment regarding 13.10 amd64 installer detecting mac partition table when windows installed to GPT may be to do with DVD using mac partition table!?
