However, this does not work. The lookup is successful when I use the 'show' command to print it, but it doesn't seem to get read into the variable properly. Any ideas? Or is there another way of getting this functionality?

That should work. If you fetch the generated iPXE script using a web browser, do you see what you expect? You could also try building iPXE with DEBUG=script, which will echo each script line.
