But hmm, if you're doing EFI boot then maybe the EFI boot environment 
isn't set right for Fedora either, because as I just noticed it has its 
own EFI directory.

Look for a tool named "efibootmgr"

"efibootmgr -v" run as root will display the various EFI boot options.

For example here is a piece of mine:

If you already have Ubuntu and Fedora options in there you can use 
efibootmgr to select a different boot option.

Here is what it looks like on Ubuntu:
