Perhaps the idea was that "partition1" may be "msdos1" or "gpt1". I do
not have some specific suggestion how to improve

GRUB's loopback facility will not work with installer images.
They do not contain iso-scan.

My bad, thank you for clarification. Is there a reason why these report
are not merged?
I rarely need a "hardware" install media, for a VM an .iso file can be
used directly to emulate cdrom. I believed that Ubuntu uses features
available everywhere.
Actually when I need a bootable USB, I use non-destructive method:
remove old files and extract content of an .iso file using 7zip or
bsdtar. It is enough for UEFI, for BIOS a couple of additional steps
were required to install syslinux and to adjust its config.
