It did load the expected keys onto the .machine keyring, enforcing the x509 indicating a self-signed CA if the compile time option CONFIG_INTEGRITY_MACHINE_KEYRING_CA_ENFORCED=y was set, loading all keys in the case of CONFIG_INTEGRITY_MACHINE_KEYRING=y.

MokListTrustedNew is set by mokutil.  The variable is then used by MokManager.  
When shim boots and sees the variable is set, it loads MokManager instead of grub.  
The MokManager then asks the user if they want to make the change.   If the user 
accepts the change, shim stores a new boot services variable and the MokListTrustedNew 
variable is deleted. Afterwards the machine is rebooted, shim creates the 
MokListTrustedRT based on the boot services variable previously set.
