Educated guess: YaST and the bootloader scripts are incapable of putting memtest86+ 5.x or earlier into a UEFI Grub menu, for good reason:
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memtest86#Adoption (last section):
"The closest one can get to "installing" MemTest86 on a UEFI machine is via a script in the Arch Linux user repository, which unpacks the PassMark version into the EFI system partition and tells GRUB where to find it."
IOW, memtest86+ cannot be run from UEFI boot.
That sounds like it may be the problem. Apparently v8.1 is needed. Any chance of that being added to openSUSE?
Where did you find evidence there is any such thing? memtest86 and memtest86+ are different programs from different sources with different versions and different licenses. memtest86 v8 is not available via the usual FOSS sources. 86: https://www.memtest86.com/ v8.1 86+: https://www.memtest.org/ v5.01 -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.
