It appears that if the "echo" and "hello" modules are in the efi image 
before the "kernel" module they work but if after they don't.

Moving "kernel" to the end means that "echo" "hello" and "ls" work 
correctly. I need kernel so I just need to remember to put it as the 
last module. Presumably I am not the first to come across this problem 
but it was not one that came up easily in searches. I'll add to the bug 
report.
