That's quite a significant data point!
The iPXE .lkrn image is a BIOS image, built to expect and require a BIOS
firmware.
If you want to downgrade from BIOS to EFI, then you need to use one of
the EFI images such as bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi. These are standard EFI
executables. If the patched Fedora GRUB2 can load standard EFI
executables (such as Shell.efi), then it should be able to load ipxe.efi.
