I still cannot reproduce it with either patch version using current GIT
QEMU + binary QEMU_EFI.fd from
http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/kernel/leg-virt-tianocore-edk2-upstream/554/QEMU-AARCH64/RELEASE_GCC49/QEMU_EFI.fd;
I run it as

aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64  -m 1024 -cpu cortex-a57 -M virt
-bios ~/vm/QEMU_EFI.fd -cdrom /tmp/grub.iso -serial stdio

Where grub.iso is built

pkgdatadir=$PWD ./grub-mkstandalone -d grub-core -O arm64-efi -o
/tmp/grub.efi
pkgdatadir=$PWD ./grub-mkrescue -d grub-core -o /tmp/grub.iso
/grub.efi=/tmp/grub.efi

and I do

chainloader /grub.efi
boot

after that.
