I've had a similar problem with a less recent MacBook.

The solution for me was not to use the GPT partitions, but stay with  
the MBR that is exposed by refit.
For that, i had to comment the
options         DKWEDGE_AUTODISCOVER
line in GENERIC

You can see

about the a similar problem. Even if you could select a wedge, it  
won't install.
