I can reproduce this issue. My bet is on the syslinux boot code.
AFAICS the working ISO is using syslinux 2:4.05+dfsg-2 while the
broken one provides 2:4.05+dfsg-3.

Might be:

| syslinux (2:4.05+dfsg-3) unstable; urgency=low
|
| [...]
|   * Cherry-picking patch from Matthew Garrett <mjg at redhat.com> for
|     isohybrid to generate MBR even when in EFI mode.

Could anyone further investigate on this one?
