Yes, grub-cpu is 'i386'

It's unlikely that waiting will solve it.
Report a bug against the grub package detailing that the i386-efi target doesn't boot Arch's kernels.

Thanks, I see that the bug has already been reported and assigned to a developer. So I can just wait...

Oh, I missed that there's one already. FS#79098, for reference.

For now, those with IA32 UEFI can vote on the issue.

My grub_cpu is x86_64, so it's something other.

Before you're somehow kicked back to grub, maybe after a second or so.
But w/ rootwait, you'd ideally not be returned to grub at all, but the kernel waits forever for the root device to appear.

With or without rootwait, I got the same errors when unplug the usb stick. Errors about broken sectors, "unable to load" and so on.

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
But "broken sectors" very much sounds like actual IO errors and either the usb key is physically damaged or loosely seated or something like that.
