Thank you for your report. Can you clarify a few things for me,
please:

1) which image (URL) did you use, and what was the exact dd command?
2) do you mean, --wipe=never did nothing at all? Or did it fail? Did
it wipe some data? I.e. what was your expectation and what actually
happened?

Thanks,
Chris
