It looks like I need to do the copy again with the 'sync' option
set as you suggest if I want to maintain the file offsets between
the two images. Thanks for pointing this out...

I tried using the 'dd' command with the
'conv=noerror' option under
both the NetBSD and G4U systems and found that the option was
disabled.
Strange. How was noerror "disabled"?
Maybe you need "conv=noerror,sync bs=512", see:
