Have you tried deleting the *VARS.fd in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram
and changing the 'template' attribute so that it points to the
*VARS.fd file you should have in your edk2 source tree, eg. the one
matching the OVMF.fd you're using to boot?

Not sure if that would help, but it's definitely worth a shot :)

Cheers.
