I think I may have this issue as well, running Kubuntu 13.04, here's my
bios id:
dmidecode -s bios-version
7ACN24WW
uname -r
3.8.0-19-generic
lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 13.04
Release: 13.04
Codename: raring
Symptoms: efibootmgr -c -l 'EFI\package\BOOT.EFI'
and variants of the above command produce the aforementioned dmesg output about
errors writing to nvram.
Hope this helps.

Title:
Cannot change EFI variables using efibootmgr (raring regression)
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hardware: Asus Zenbook Prime UX21A
Runing quantal, I can set boot parameters using efibootmgr as
expected.
Running raring, any attempt to write EFI vars fails.
dmesg says:
[ 248.382221] efivars: set_variable() failed: status=8000000000000009
strace of efibootmgr says:
write(3, "B\0o\0o\0t\0O\0r\0d\0e\0r\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 2084)
= -1 EIO (Input/output error)
Bug 1167567 may be related but not quite the same (I see EIO, not
ENOSPC)
