That's really surprising; the error number you mention 
(http://ipxe.org/2c04803b) is generated _before_ any code is reached that 
might plausibly care about the difference between loading an EFI driver and 
loading an EFI application.

[To clarify the situation for interested readers: this issue should have 
absolutely nothing to do with the ongoing issue of iPXE-being-a-driver versus 
iPXE-being-an-application.  What we're talking about here is instead the 
ability of iPXE to _load_ a driver, versus the ability of iPXE to load an 
application.]

At the moment, I have no idea how your error is arising in the first place.  
Could you post the exact steps you are taking to reproduce both (a) a working 
imgexec and (b) a failed imgexec?

Thanks,
