In one dup of this bug the user reported that it was resolved by running
chkdsk a few times in windows to repair the fs.  With the attached esp
image, I found that dosfsck -a detected errors but failed to repair.  It
seems dosfstools has a bug when it comes to saving lost chains as
recovered files, and in that image, the /EFI/ubuntu directory consists
of a FAT chain that contains a free cluster, which is invalid. Running
dosfsck -r and saying yes a few times eventually repaired the problem.

I wonder why so many people seem to have corrupt filesystems on their
ESP.
