If you copy all files from the EFI\BOOT folder on the CD to e.g. EFI\tools\MemTest86 on the USB-Stick, then you get a nice graphic GUI with mouse support:
Thanks for the heads-up on this! I've just added explicit support for it to rEFInd, encoding it as a second-row option. Copy the EFI/BOOT directory from the Memtest86 USB flash drive to EFI/tools/memtest86 or EFI/memtest86 on your ESP and rEFInd 0.7.3.6 should detect it and give you a second-row option to launch it. A 0.7.3.6 binary is available here, if you care to test it:
This is a brand new version of MemTest86

I have tested Memtest86 Version 5.0 Experimental UEFI Beta in rEFInd on my USB-Stick:
refind.conf stanza:
menuentry "MemTest86" {
loader \EFI\tools\MemTest86.efi
}
(MemTest86.efi is the renamed bootx64.efi from the MemTest86-CD, no other files needed)
Works like a charm, also on my MacBook Pro!

Thanks Roderick, the new version 0.7.3.6 with MemTest86 works like a charm!
I've added 'memtest' to 'showtools' in refind.conf and copied all MemTest86 files
to EFI\tools\memtest86
