Without GNU mtools installed, GParted cannot manage FAT partitions, like the EFI boot partition. It should be installed by default in the live ISO.

I agree. Sadly, mtools is not a required dependency for GParted (although when you do install GParted it does suggest it), so it just installs it without mtools. Hopefully this is fixed in the next release for the ISOs.
