Windows 8.1 restored from a Macrium Reflect image works perfectly.

If I subsequently try to image the system with Clonezilla, Clonezilla fails to image
sda1 (EFI System Partition)
and
sda2 (DIAGS OEM Partition)
giving the message
fatclone.c: Filesystem isn't in valid state. May be it is not cleanly unmounted.

These two partitions have always been described as 'dirty' by Clonezilla, even prior to the Macrium Reflect restore, when they were successfully backed up with partclone.

So did you run chkdsk in your MS Windows environment before imaging it?
Or you can use the option "-fsck-src-part-y" when saving an image:

Chkdsk showed no problems. The '-fsck-src-part-y' looks risky for a Windows system.

" fatclone.c: Filesystem isn't in valid state. May be it is not cleanly unmounted." -> It's FAT, so ' '-fsck-src-part-y' should be OK. It's risky for NTFS.
