The latest couple of F18 live images I have tried have not been efi bootable. Is this something known or something I should report in bugzilla? If so, under what component?

That's probably not it. The live TCs and RCs were not affected by that
bug. Only DVD/netinst.

What images, exactly, are you talking about? Nightlies?

Yeah, and the graphic test day images as well.

What, exactly, happens? How are you trying to boot them? How did you
make the boot image? livecd-iso-to-disk should be working fine at this
point (it rewrites the label so the spaces bug isn't a problem).

--reset-mbr and --efi are conflicting options. I don't know if the script automatically negates one of them or if you just end up with a messed up USB stick.

Thanks for the report, the nightly images weren't working right because
of the splash image change. livecd-tools 18.12 fixes this.
