My cynicism says that the answer to 'how do you leak an OEM private key for a trusted boot system, one that shouldn't be stored where it's leakable' is 'the security of trusted boot is not a priority for PC motherboard vendors'. They treated the Intel OEM private key like it was unimportant because it was unimportant to them. And they're probably right, unless MSI suffers severe consequences from this.
