I just installed the following updates. Seems to have fixed the issue
for me; grub-install now runs without error. Thanks very much!

Upgraded the following packages:
libefiboot1 (37-2ubuntu2.1) to 37-2ubuntu2.2
libefivar1 (37-2ubuntu2.1) to 37-2ubuntu2.2

Title:
  grub-install: Operation not permitted

Status in grub2-signed package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 beta, upgraded from 19.10. 
  When doing the last upgrade I got an error message from grub.

  When I run ›dpkg-reconfigure shim-signed‹ I get this error:

  Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
  grub-install: warning: Internal error.
  grub-install: error: failed to register the EFI boot entry: Operation not permitted.

  Since then I didn't reboot, for I'm afraid it won't work.
