 This one is what your UEFI's loading at boot. The lack of any other
 files in /boot/efi/boot/ makes me suspect Grub's not actually
 installed in quite the right spot for the UEFI layer to load it. If
 you pointed grub2-install at the right place (the second command line
 at [1]), I believe you should have grubx64.efi there as well.
 
 Did you build GRUB with GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64"?

Yes, as instructed in the wiki.

 As you're using EFI, you may find life easier if you dispense with GRUB
 and use Gummiboot. I find it (or the systemd version) far more friendly.

Maybe I should give it a go - thanks for the idea. I did consider it but then I was deterred by its description as "minimalistic".







The usual complaint about GRUB2 is that it is too complex, so minimal is good here. I only have it installed to be able to boot my System Rescue ISO in an emergency, I've not found a way to go that without GRUB.
