However, there's one corner case to consider. Due to some licensing issues we still can't test UEFI in VMs. That means we can't really test UEFI boot and installation of Live/DVD/netinst other than burning it (or doing a USB conversion, but then we don't test the vanilla ISO). If Live/netinst burning is broken for some reason (other than being oversize, which is not very likely for these two images), we might have troubles verifying that UEFI works. OTOH this is a very unlikely situation to occur. I'm mentioning it for completeness.

I know you mentioned it for completeness, just expanding on why I don't think it's a huge issue.
Am I being dense, or missing something? What "licensing issues"?
I have a new Intel "Haswell" (i5-4430/z87) achitecture machine and do both VM and bare-metal testing, is there something I should be aware of and add tot the testing procedures?
