Ah, turns out my machine was still on legacy grub (grub-efi package) 
rather than grub2-efi after all.  (Though neither of the two packages 
appears to contain a grub[2]-efi-install tool, at least not the Fedora 
17 rpms; but then again, I hopefully won't need to fiddle with that 
again anyway...)

Thanks,
