Checking the Key* entries in your dump, it seems the BIOS on this device stores some additional data in them (like on-screen message? Launching the Startup Interrupt Menu) that's not really supported by the standard (and I cant find any documentation on their additions anywhere).

I don't think I can do much about it, they are broken entries 🤔 (at least not valid to the UEFI specification)
I think the best I could do is ignore that additional data and hope it will be fine without it if you save 🤔

This should be "fixed" (worked around really), since 1.5.1. Feel free to reopen if otherwise.
