I created an EFI partition, newfs_msdos'ed it, created the directories, and all seemed well. But, the EFI Boot Manager doesn't seem to recognize it as a valid filesystem. The FreeBSD kernel has grown x86-specific UEFI and BIOS warts in the GPT code that turned into bugs over time. The one that affects you is that the MBR is re-created unconditionally and the PMBR partition is flagged as active everytime that happens. This is against the EFI spec.
