As described in the OP, this all took place on an uptodate bookworm 12.8 
  system because It had the only working card reader.

After redoing the copy for the third time on this bookworm system, and 
triple checking by unmounting and remount the card 3 times to see if it 
survived, I took the card back to the printer, and that time it worked. 
The printer is a highly rebuilt machine now unlike any other of its ik 
on the planet, it may be producing stuff by tomorrow night as I have a 
clock spring in the steering column to replace first thing later today. 
Nothing except the horn works in my King Ranch F250 pickup.

Normally, when doing this operation, I can sudo copy a root:root file 
but since the transfer card is vfat, It can't change the ownership 
anyway. But the machine reading that file is vfat too which has no 
concept of ownership, doesn't care. Suddenly I have zero write perms to 
anyplace forever. That is whats new. Apparently with the update to 12.8.
