Additional information for bug report; thanks, Ron, for retrieving and sending me the information. :-)
I'm attaching the \Boot\BCD file that the Windows Boot Manager is complaining about; 'file' reports this to be: $ file BCD BCD: MS Windows registry file, NT/2000 or above :-( The Debian 'reglookup' package is able to parse this; it looks like it's got partition information in it for Windows 8 to be able to find bootable elements.
