Turns out the FDE is a red herring. I just reinstalled without FDE and the symptoms are exactly the same.
The new install has a simple 500GB ext4 partition, which I can mount using the Disks tool when booted using my old disk. It seems like all the data is there. (It also has a 13GB extended partition with a swap partition in it.) But it refuses to boot from that drive. I tried booting the drive as a raw disk using VirtualBox, but I get the same error. So I don't think it's my hardware (excepting the new SSD, of course - it could be the SSD).
