My guess is that our grub version is missing some features for recent EFI 
firmwares.

Unlike other distros we are still using the official grub-2.0 relase 
without any patches... I think other distros are using 2.02, which is in 
alpha state.

I'd try updating the grub pkg, building a live image with this grub pkg and 
testing the installation. You can achieve this easily with `xbps-src` and 
`void-mklive`:

    $ ./xbps-src pkg grub
    $ ./mklive.sh -r /path/to/your/local/host/binpkgs -r
