What, efivars being mounted read-only? Quite sure. If I don't remount them 
read-write, "bootctl install" refuses to run at all.

I wonder. Just possibly this is a motherboard or UEFI BIOS problem (or one 
I've caused it). When I first received the machine I couldn't get grub to 
install and run, no matter what I tried. That was 18 months ago, since when 
it's been running apparently happily using bootctl.
