You are correct; I was driven to the wrong place.

Feel free to mark this report invalid.

My issue appears to actually be at some point after grub_video_get_info_and_fini() and I am at a loss on how to debug this any further.

No input is available between this line and until grub_mm_base is restored. So I suppose you were driven to a wrong place in the code.

The statement in grub-core/lib/relocator.c:591:
  grub_mm_base = NULL;
causes my system to lock-up when booting in EFI mode. I have determined this through liberal placement of grub_dprintf's, and eventually commenting out the offending line.

By commenting this line out, I am able to progress further in the boot sequence, but I am still unable to boot (have yet to determine that cause)

I haven't quite worked out why it only happens on EFI booting, since as far as I can tell, it's not in an EFI-specific code section.

Also reported on launchpad as LP #1080521
