Public bug reported:
Apologies, this is a strange one and hard to describe...
Kaby Lake i7, 2 SSDs, windows 10 pro 1607 on NVMe SSD. UEFI/GPT all
drives.
Ubuntu 16.04.2 _live desktop_ on SATA SSD. By that I mean live "CD"
contents copied to a FAT32 partition. I use it that way since I use
grub2 to launch other tools in the FAT32 partition in addition to
Ubuntu. Acronis, for example.
If I boot _the same_ Ubuntu live version on a flash drive, I get the
flash drive's grub menu and select "...try..." what actually boots is
the live desktop on the SSD. I can tell since the flash drive shows up
as removable and the SSD's partition is mounted as /cdrom.
If I obscure casper on the SSD ( casper->casper_OBSCURED) the flash
drive live desktop gets booted fully. A persistence file on the SSD
also will get used unless I obscure that.
If the live desktop versions are different, the flash drive desktop gets
booted as expected.
I can also avoid the problem by booting a loop-mounted ISO of the live
desktop on flash, even if it is the same version.
