FYI - I checked the boot order at the suggestion of another user who experienced the same problem, so it wasn’t just me. 
Yes, and the other user that gave the suggestion, was me.
The point was that it’s happened to a few people lately as a consequence of the Grub upgrade, and being that it’s not a common occurrence, it leaves some users clueless as to what the problem is, and how to recover.

no, the script is using the Bootloader-ID from /etc/default/grub file as in: GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Manjaro' You can check again in your install if that is the case and if your EFI folder really has a manjaro or Manjaro folder.
In my case DISTRIBUTOR is with capital letter, but bootloader-id as per grub-install is small case. Works fine.

GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Manjaro"
Just checked
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=“Manjaro”
and EFI folder really was all lowercase “manjaro” as per my previous post
→ I just manually corrected it to Manjaro… but had to
mv manjaro anjaro
mv anjaro Manjaro
because
mv manjaro Manjaro
Failed due to case insensitivity which wanted to move manjaro dir inside itself 
!
This should work (untested):
sudo pacman -Syu perl-rename
rename manjaro Manjaro
Regardless, this isn’t necessary, as the named directory is usually created according to the content of bootloader-id=, unless created by a previous or foreign UEFI bootloader installation.
Hmm, what happens if the bootloader-id is all Capital. Might be UEFI BIOS related. I also saw EFI/Boot and EFI/boot folders.
In an actual Windows system, all-caps can sometimes be automatically converted to (sentence-case, I think) depending on default settings.
On a vfat filesystem (outside of Windows), I think the capitals will likely remain; the EFI directory is already allcaps, usually.
I think it doesn’t matter in the end for VFAT. It is all case insensitive, except the EFI folder. So a bootloader-id of Manjaro or manjaro or even MANJARO will act the same. Now we just have to figure out on how to make it case insensitive inside of the script.
Aren’t you glad there are no multi-language considerations?! 
At least, not as far as I’m aware; I don’t recall base UEFI locations being other than English.
If the directory already exists, say /EFI/manjaro and the bootloader-id is Manjaro does the script currently attempt to use the existing directory, or does it overwrite it with bootloader-id content? Maybe it’s better to first remove any existing directory (regardless of case) if it exists. VFAT is indeed case-insensitive, but tools needing to reference the directory, might not be.
Which will update this with everything else, like everything else…

Then it’s best to use the existing directory!
You don’t know if any UEFI has a problematic implementation of fat32. If you use existing upper/lower-case names it will certainly work.

It uses the existing directory regardless of the case sensitivity.
Should we change the name to grub-reinstall?
- keep the name ‘install-grub’
- switch to ‘grub-reinstall’

reinstall-grub.
Because that’s what it does. And the potential for confusion is less like that.

Seems legit.
Perhaps the manjaro- prefix is important to keep it consistent with other Manjaro modified packages, and differentiate it from other similar sounding tools.

Thanks!
Suggestions:
- please add build version number into terminal output to simplify diagnosing what version a user ran.
- may be to include it as automated action post-install script after grub package get update?
