Follow up following more investigation

I have since re-installed my system (again from DI beta4).

I have reconfirmed that yes following an upgrade after the install the
system still fails to boot.

However at Sledge's suggestion (and with his help) I reverted to the
versions of grub that are included on the DVD set of DI beta 4

that is to say I followed the following steps:
1) reboot failed system using USB stick containing image
   debian-buster-DI-alpha4-arm64-DVD-1.iso

2) mount the partition on my hard disk for
        /
        /boot
        /boot/efi

3) downgrade grub2 to the versions found on
   debian-buster-DI-alpha4-arm64-DVD-1.iso   i.e.

   dpkg -i grub-efi-arm64-bin_2.02+dfsg1-8_arm64.deb 	\
        grub-efiarm64_2.02+dfsg1-8_arm64.deb            \
        grub2-common_2.02+dfsg1-8_arm64.deb             \
        grub-common_2.02+dfsg1-8_arm64.deb

4) reboot

At this point I am able to correctly start both my old kernel (found on
DI beta4 - Linux 4.18.0-3-arm64) and the current Buster kernel image
(Linux 4.19.0-1-arm64)

Conclusion:
I have wrongly attributed this bug to the kernel - it should be re
assigned to grub2
