I could successfully chainload grub from shim by using virtio-net and disabling iPXE. Minimal reproducer:

sudo kvm -bios /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd -device virtio-net,netdev=n1 -netdev user,id=n1,tftp=/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu,bootfile=shimx64.efi -global virtio-net-pci.romfile=""

if I remove the last option (which disables iPXE), it fails to boot again.

Building iPXE with CONFIG=qemu seems to be a fairly complicated affair. The build system is a mess.
