I am really grateful for your detailed explanation!
I went through all the steps, checked the IDs from efibootmgr and blkid
with respect to the various configuration files - and found no mismatch,
but again I ended up with the grub prompt.
Tomorrow I am going to spend another rainy afternoon double-checking -
and then I'll give up and do a fresh fedora install on blank /dev/sda
(which might be a good idea anyway after all those years of
system-upgrade). Things that matter to me (home partition, VMs) are all
stored on other devices anyway.
Usually I want to find out thing (and nearly always got there), but now
I am stuck.

I seem to recall that you duplicated the UUID's of the original partitions. If so, did you change them after you had moved the data? If not, you have 2 partitions with the same UUID, and how is grub supposed to know which one it should use?

No, the IDs should be unique. I have moved the partitions by Gparted, which kept the UUIDS (in detail: I copied the respective partition and deleted the origin immediately after).
