Installation with custom partitioning fails in Calamares #440

When trying to install ArchCraft today with the standard ISO on an x86_64 system and performing custom partitioning as follows:

/boot FAT32 (flagged as boot) 
 
/     ext4

When I click Next, a message appears warning me that I haven't created a FAT32 EFI partition at /boot/efi. It is obvious that with the current partitioning, a separate UEFI partition isn't necessary, but Calamares does not detect it.

Even so, I decided to proceed with the installation to see if it would complete correctly with that layout. However, once the installation finished, the system was unbootable because it failed to create the kernels or the GRUB/systemd-boot entries (I'm not sure which bootloader Calamares uses since it doesn't provide an option to choose).
