It occured to me that the Samsung drive might have been corrupted 
at
some point, so I dd'd /dev/zero into the first few gigabytes of 
the
drive to completely wipe the partition table. Sure enough, it 
showed up
on the partitioning stage of the graphical installer and I was 
able get
all the way through to the end... except for the same efibootmgr 
error.
