Hi Lukas,

then we have found the explanation for this problem - thank you!

The grub.cfg on the copy of the installation will be correct only after boot and update of this installation.
And i must run update-grub first on the standard installation to get the partition with the copy booted.

It's impossible to avoid this error under this circumstances!

So this bug can be closed.
