This is a bug in the wic files, and if they're still broken in master
then please send a patch.

Notably this was the fix I did for the wic files in meta-intel:

--- a/wic/systemd-bootdisk-microcode.wks
+++ b/wic/systemd-bootdisk-microcode.wks.in
@@ -10,4 +10,4 @@ part / --source rootfs --ondisk sda --fstype=ext4
--label platform --align 1024
-bootloader --ptable gpt --timeout=5 --append="rootwait
rootfstype=ext4 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0"
+bootloader --ptable gpt --timeout=5 --append="rootfstype=ext4 ${APPEND}"

Easy! :)
