It is confirmed that it is not an Ubuntu specific bug. It can be
installed and booted according to the guide here:
http://community.acer.com/t5/E-F-and-M-Series-Laptops/Acer-Aspire-
ES-15-ES1-533-C3UW-Legacy-BIOS-Missing/td-p/471754/page/2

So it is only a bad UEFI of this model making it difficult to install
any Linux distribution (although not impossible).

Bug description:
