partman-efi/commit.d/format_efi has a comment about not formatting existing paritions, because it is too dangerous:
> # Formatting an EFI System Partition that already has a
> # filesystem on it is dangerous
> # (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769669).  The least bad
> # option seems to be to skip such partitions entirely.
> if [ -f $id/detected_filesystem ]; then
>         continue
> fi
As such the partition probably survived from the previous test run.
