Systemd-boot broken after updating systemd to 248-1

After updating systemd package to version 248-1 (currently in repo), systemd-boot is broken. I'm using linux-lts kernel and I'm dual booting with Windows, with systemd-boot as bootloader. After the update, when I get to the bootloader screen I'm unable to select different entries, and pressing enter on the default entry I either get just a black screen, or something saying "failed loading (null)". Downgrading to systemd to the previous installed version I had (247.4-2), manually removing the bootloader with "bootctl remove" and installing it again ("bootctl install") solved the issue. Anyone having the same issue?

I see the same problem here. The keyboard does not work in the menu.

I have the menu disabled by default. Using the space-bar to pull up the keyboard at boot worked, but then inside the menu the keyboard didn't work anymore.

I use a PS/2 keyboard here, not USB.

I found out the problem is only happening with PS/2 keyboards. It's not happening when connecting a USB keyboard.

I opened a bug report with systemd, here:
