It seems that they (MS) have the same 'policy' that we have: do not
allow
upgrades from two releases ahead. :-) I guess that Vista does not like the
existance of the NT4 flag, as if it were an indication of subtle differences
in the underliying filesystem with the format it knows. And it refuses to
boot in such partition.
And the problem that Szaka refers to, if I understood right, is that
yes,
Vista now boots, but perhaps say NT have troubles *not* having this flag in
its boot partition.

Seems rational. I will prepare the new package.
Best regards,
