For now i suggest using refind-efi refindx64.efi with the following config:

---- (USB)/EFI/boot/refind.conf ----
textonly
showtools about,reboot,shutdown,exit
scanfor manual

menuentry "Arch Linux Archiso x86_64" {
    volume ARCH_201212
    loader /arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz
    initrd /arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img
    ostype Linux
    graphics off
    options "add_efi_memmap archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=ARCH_201212"
}

menuentry "UEFI x86_64 Shell v2" {
    volume ARCH_201212
    loader /EFI/shellx64_v2.efi
    graphics off
}

menuentry "UEFI x86_64 Shell v1" {
    volume ARCH_201212
    loader /EFI/shellx64_v1.efi
    graphics off
}
--------------------------------------------------

I don't have access to my laptop right now so I can't send a patch. In my
Thinkpad E430 both gummiboot and rEFInd work fine.

Regards.
