No! Thank you for the test... I did download ms-sys [1] which isn't 
present in my Debian system. She is able
to write some different MBR and boot records:

    -7, --mbr7      Write a Windows 7 MBR to device
    -i, --mbrvista  Write a Windows Vista MBR to device
    -m, --mbr       Write a Windows 2000/XP/2003 MBR to device
    -9, --mbr95b    Write a Windows 95B/98/98SE/ME MBR to device
    -d, --mbrdos    Write a DOS/Windows NT MBR to device
    -s, --mbrsyslinux    Write a syslinux MBR to device
    -t, --mbrgptsyslinux Write a syslinux GPT MBR to device
    -z, --mbrzero   Write an empty (zeroed) MBR to device

Only ms-sys -s worked, and also -t with the GPT version of my test... 
Now everything becomes more clear. Thank you. Having all this in mind: 
Do I have some kind of solution
to the scenario previously described?
