We do take considerable care - the fact that sometimes problems slip
through doesn't mean we weren't careful.  (In general, this type of
problem relates to oddities of particular people's systems.)

Unlike other folks reporting this bug, you seem to be using UEFI.  That
means that you have a completely different problem, even though it
presents with similar symptoms.

Could you please file a *separate* bug report with details of the
problem you encountered?  We're also likely to need to know the
disk/partition/filesystem layout of your system, whether you're using
UEFI Secure Boot, and anything else that might be interesting about how
your machine boots.  This isn't the same thing as the other problems in
this bug, and we'll need to investigate it separately.
