Many thanks to both Sam and MacFixer, partioning as GUID first, then restoring
did the trick (in the event it booted immediately after restoring, no need
even to re-install OS X).
So if I'd spent an extra two minutes in the first place, it would all have
gone smoothly. Pah!
Thanks again,
Ben

Hi Ben
Boot from the OS X installer DVD, go to Disk Utility, click on the device (not
the volume name), click on the partition tab, select 1 partition, click
options, select GUID, click OK & Apply. That should format the drive as GUID
rather than Apple Partition Map.
Once that's done, re-clone from the drive and reinstall OS X. You'll need to
re-clone as partitioning wipes all the data and reinstall OS X to resolve the
boot issue with the no-entry sign.
