Is there a VFAT filesystem mounted on /boot/efi ?

The extra one being /boot/efi/EFI/arch_grub or /boot/efi/efi/arch?

By setting EFI_VENDOR=arch you are asking for a copy of the hypervisor
to be installed in /boot/efi/efi/arch (i.e. under
EFI_MOUNTPOINT==/boot/efi by defaukt).

By setting EFI_DIR you are also asking for a copy to be installed there
too (with the full symlink suite). The default appears to be
under /usr/lib

Depending on which behaviour you are after you should drop either
EFI_DIR or EFI_VENDOR from your cfg I think. I think the intention is
that people only normally specify EFI_VENDOR.
