The EeeBook has secure boot disabled, I configured so via BIOS settings. On the USB stick, I exchanged Leap ISO's (msdos1)/EFI/BOOT/bootx86.efi with bootia32.efi from the Ubuntu image referenced above: - the EeeBook offers to select the USB stick as a boot medium - when selected, the boot works in the sense that I have a grub shell - by calling "linux (hd0,msdos2)/boot/x86_64/loader/vmlinux", "initrd (hd0,msdos2)/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd" and "boot" the system will boot. I have not spent any major effort on creating some EFI configuration that will present a proper Grub menu - using manual commands to start the installer is all I needed for POC. Unfortunately, there are some issues that make the built-in keyboard/touchpad stay dead, but I can continue using USB keyboard/mouse to continue. So in terms of this bug, I prove that booting Leap on such a machine is possible, all that's missing is a proper bootia32.efi included in the EFI partition of the ISO.
