Fusion 6.0.5 - can not boot EFI USB stick

It is supposed to be easy to boot EFI USB stick.

So I made sure I have few of them created (USB3 & USB2, big 32Gb, small 256Mb, different EFI bootable OS)

While they work in physical machines with UEFI boot and also in Workstation 11

Fusion 6.0.5 is a no go.

None of the USB tested gets listed in EFI shell (all screenshots were done using the same USB stick on Windows 7 x64 & on ML 10.8.5)

EFI Shell version is lower (2.30) in Fusion 6.0.5 then in W11 (2.31), but would that make difference?

Upgraded to Fusion 7.0.1 & it all works same as Workstation 11.

Also same EFI Shell version 2.31

So obviously F6 was the problem
