Yeah, I triple-checked because I was so surprised.

Completely understandable and I'm not the least bit annoyed :)

In case you missed it, Hans has the exact same tablet (I got this one
from him) and he can't reproduce it, but the one he sent me isn't using
shim and has a RHEL build of grub. At Thiebaud's request I didn't change
anything about the setup, but I'm guessing if I restore it to use the
Fedora setup the problem won't appear. I'm happy to make a backup and
verify this hypothesis.

It's InsydeH20 version BYT70A.YNCHENG.WIN.007
