Can I suggest it might be worthwhile mentioning in src/UPDATING ?
I don't think these fixes are covered there.

It was counterintuative to me at the start as this was a 13-stable guest 
showing the error, it being hosted on a 15-current bhyve, in that what was
required was for the -current system to be upgraded.

Maybe also for the other fix, in the different (arm64) context
on baremetal, which was to copy /boot/loader.efi to 
/boot/efi/efi/BOOT/bootaa64.efi (I know of no way to determine
whether or not the rpi4b comes under "deficient systems 
that don't honor efibootmgr(8) protocols" (as per /usr/src/UPDATING))
