I think the latter isn't the case (based on earlier email with Oleg), but
we can be sure if he provides:
(1) kenv (to make sure boot_xxx are set, maybe via a stray loader.conf)
(2) sudo efivar --device-path 8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-ConOut

It should show something like:
8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-ConOut
:
PciRoot(0x2)/Pci(0x1,0x2)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/AcpiAdr(0x80010100),/PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x3)/Serial(0x1)/Uart(115200,8,N,1)/UartFlowCtrl(Hardware)/VenVt100Plus()

if there's redirect or something like

8be4df61-93ca-11d2-aa0d-00e098032b8c-ConOut
: PciRoot(0x2)/Pci(0x1,0x2)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/AcpiAdr(0x80010100)

if not.
