I don't think there is actually an I/O error here, looking at the code
systemd-gpt-auto-generator makes this error up:

Somebody who is familiar with libblkid (i.e. not me) might explain why
blkid_probe_lookup_value() apparently failed but did not set errno.
Great catch. Yeah, blkid_probe_lookup_value apparently just returns -1
on all errors, regardless of what the error was.
This is probably a bug in systemd-gpt-auto-generator, but upstream (and
the maintainer) would know much more than I.
Thank you, both!
I'll see if I can file a cogent bug report.
Please let me know if you have particular suggestions about that.
I filed a bug report -- [email protected] -- a few minutes ago.
I'm sorry if this is a duplicate notification. I accidentally sent the
original from the wrong e-mail account and wanted to be sure you knew
that Jape (nickname) and Jim were the same person.
Again, thank you Sven and Don, for your help.
Jape
