Colin, Steve, any recommendations on how to build ovmf in the way needed
to work around this?

System76 is working toward switching all our products to UEFI, but we
use qemu for our golden image mastering and maintenance (something I'm
not keen on giving up as it's proven to be totally awesome).

I'm pretty sure I'm now stuck at this same bug. I can (seemingly)
successfully complete an install, but for the life of me, I can't then
boot from the disk image. I've tried with qemu 1.5 on Saucy, and qemu
1.6 on Trusty (using the pre-built ovmf Ubuntu package). I've also tried
with random ovmf builds from around the net, still no luck.

Also, I spun my wheels for a while till I realized that ovmf doesn't currently 
work with virtio... so future readers take note:
OVMF + virtio == you're gonna have a bad time

;)
