Yes, this is consistent with my hypothesis.
PlatformBootManagerBeforeConsole()
GetFrontPageTimeoutFromQemu()
QemuFwCfgSelectItem (QemuFwCfgItemBootMenu)
// "Select Item: 0xE"
gRT->SetVariable()
PlatformRegisterOptionsAndKeys()
EfiBootManagerAddKeyOptionVariable()
gRT->SetVariable()
BmProcessKeyOption()
BmRegisterHotkeyNotify()
// "[Bds]RegisterKeyNotify: 000C/0000 80000000/00 Success"
IOW, there are at least two gRT->SetVariable() calls in OVMF (with
EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE attribute) between the two adjacent log lines
you quoted.
The other functions listed in the call tree may contain further
gRT->SetVariable() calls.
