Remove the grub_platform command and try again.

Initially we thought that removing all five lines had helped. But that
test has to be repeated, now that we have to expect that this success was
due to the partition table changes.

If the repeated test with no command grub_platform shows that the problem is
gone, then the test result with just no "if"-lines would tell us that indeed
the command is to blame for the long delay.

If removing all five lines does not help, then the error message about
grub_platform is just an unrelated complaint.

Please try what i proposed to Lucap in comment #45
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/1922342/comments/45
(beware of swallowed blanks, see #46)

Somehow the quite marginal changes of gnome disk prevent the problem.
The proposed dd runs manipulate the GPT, veterinarian style.

If all we need to do is to set the flags of GPT partition 1 to
  0x1000000000000005
then i could quite directly provide a remedy in GNU xorriso-1.5.5.

Further there would be a veterinary solution for the time being.
The biggest obstacle would be to get byte value 5 by shell means.
In bash there is a special form of quoting:

  echo $'\005' | dd bs=1 count=1 conv=notrunc seek=1072 of="$NEW"

In dash the built-in echo command interprets backslashes on its own:

  echo '\005' | dd bs=1 count=1 conv=notrunc seek=1072 of="$NEW"

Have a nice day :)
