This is a 64 GB stick. It compressed down to 4 GB,
which made senses most of the stick is zeros
# gunzip --to-stdout DeadStick.FC30_2019-09-06.dd.gz | dd
status=progress bs=4096 of=/dev/sdb
If those are the exact commands you used then the one you wrote to
should be identical. What is the problem? If the stick you write to
is not the exact same one as the one you read from, the size might
not be exactly the same which could cause a problem. You would need
to compare the output from dd in both cases.
The stick is a dual Legacy, EUFI dual boot install
of Fedora 30, x64.
On boot, the new stick recognized EUFI boot, gave me a choice
of kernels, then dropped to the emergency prompt.
When I redid it with only a dd and no gzip, joy,
Me things I got everything back, but not in the right
physical locations.
Simple test. But no issues here

You need to complicate up your partition structure and
try it again.
