Thank you James & Gerd,

Your suggestions & comments led me to reconsider the contents of the
initrd and the problem is now fixed.

I had been using an initrd that worked perfectly in a non-UEFI boot and
half worked with UEFI boot (the working half being when code was
patched). However when I generated a completely new initrd after
installing a new system in UEFI mode, I could see many virtio modules
being added which were not part of the old initrd I had been using.
Booting with the new initrd works perfectly in  all boot modes using
OVMF files created without any code patching.

Is there a particular procedure to withdraw my patch request, or does it
die a quiet death by being ignored now?

Thanks again,
chris
