I've created an MX-Linux 19 LiveUSB with Clonezilla ver. 3.27.16-3 installed by Synaptic
Package Manager from the MX Linux repository, which I then remastered. The
remastered LiveUSB passed several tests and allowed me to install MX 19 to
an SSD which itself runs AOK.
Clonezilla is started from a launcher on the desktop which runs sudo
/usr/sbin/clonezilla . After booting from that MX-Linux LiveUSB completes,
I then plug in a second USB (not Live) which holds a Clonezilla image, and
unmounted it after it appeared in Thunar File Manager. The destination to
install the image on is an erased GPT SSD and appears in Thunar and Gparted
both.
I launch gparted, select device-image mode, assign
the location of the image to read from as local_dev, and when prompted to,
insert the second USB, the non-Live USB with the Clonezilla image. I then
open Thunar, and when it automounts the LiveUSB, I unmount it, and close
Thunar.
Back into Clonezilla where I tell it to proceed. It shows me sdd1 as
available to mount as /home/partimage but when I select that, errors scroll
down the screen and repeats rapidly in a loop.

https://pastebin.com/6dsvGRbA has the error message which begins with
I found a Clonezila bug in
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/d37e37ee/?limit=25
which suggests updating drbl but there are no instructions to do so for
Debian 10, the foundation for MX Linux 19.
How might I resolve this?

If you are talking about DRBL, we only support some specific GNU/Linux versions, e.g., Debian, Ubuntu, Centos...
https://drbl.org/installation/
I am not familiar with MX-Linux, so if you can, use those GNU/Linux we support. Or you can try Clonezilla lite server:
