There's also the fact that an NVRAM variable is never overwritten inplace; the new value is written elsewhere, and the pointer is updated to use the address of the new value. This is probably mainly for wear-leveling, but I guess it could also introduce fragmentation?
Just an observation from when I was debugging a board that selfdestructed when booting a particular efi-file so I had to dig into the flash contents to figure out why, but I think this particular code was straight from tianocore.
