That's an interesting wrinkle, thanks for the info. But AFAICS it shouldn't
make a huge amount of difference; blivet would, I think, consider the
recovery partition to be a 'macefi' partition and go wrong still. Welp, I
guess we'll see when you try it out more.
Right and I'd be shocked if it weren't journaled HFS+, but it's
possible it isn't because all it contains is one or two disk images
which are what actually get booted. It's not a read write volume so
there's no need for it be journaled. So it might be that the
installation succeeded because it used the recovery hd as macefi. But
what I expect is that I had a stale layout with a Linux HFS+ ESP that
was recycled.
