I just ran the exact same procedure as you described, same OS, image size and everything, and it all worked as expected.
Maybe your MiniMad's SD-card reader is clogged with some dust, which can result in some random errors.
Please follow the dedicated information in the "TROUBLESHOOT" section.

Did you clean the micro-SD card slot of the MiniMad as well?

So strange, would you have a second MiniMad you could try your flashed SD-card in?
