But the SD card can't handle the image.  As a practical matter--real-world
experience--the short copies result in a non-booting image.

It doesn't matter; if two 32GB cards, with the image on the source
expanded to use the entire card, don't have either identical or larger
destination raw capacity, the same problem will surface.
