On any EFI/UEFI system you must select or create a '/boot/efi' partition or
grub2 script will fail hence system can't/won't boot. I'm not sure if this is a
bug as you saw the warning, continued and things happened exactly as the
warning said they would. Unless I'm not understanding.

Your 'efibootmgr' output clearly shows 'openmandriva' so '/boot/efi' exists.
Why not just select it during manual partitioning?

I will pass on the comment about bugs not being checked. Seems to be an issue
lately...
