This is not correct. The UEFI specification supports boot from a drive 
with an MSDOS partition table. Otherwise why would there be an "EFI 
system partition" type identifier (0xef) for MSDOS partition tables ? 
The Debian installer hybrid image has an MSDOS partition table. (It also 
has Apple and GPT partition tables, but they are bogus)

It is part of the image.

Copying the image again overwrote the GPT partition table and anything 
else you may have written to the stick. So it does not explain the 
success. You may have done something wrong the first time.
