10 months ago I'm confused by the report.
I've literally just downloaded 0.9.5 and 0.9.6 releases from the site, to be sure, and the size of every single file in both is the same:

I have just run QemuBuild.command from the 0.9.6 version, and it can start the picker fine in OVMF.
Using BootInstall_X64.tool (0.9.6) results in hang and not loading Bootpicker at all.
However, using opencore 0.9.6 with BootInstall_X64.tool from 0.9.5 works and boot totally fine!
Issue must be in new BootInstall_X64.tool (0.9.6), which is also several kb bigger in size
