Maybe your users on the internal drive are bad? You may want to consider reinstalling the OS to the internal (pretty basic and non-destructive) from Recovery.

I got past the authorize/owner loop. I did two things differently:
This time it didn't ask me to set an owner, only to authorize a user account. The restart crashed (dyld cache), so I used macOS Recovery to reinstall Ventura on the backup drive. And it worked! It booted from the backup SSD (Ventura 13.6.2, same as on internal drive), and I could start FileVault encryption -- when I got that far once before with the HD backup, FileVault gave an error. This does make me wonder: if the authentication/owners loop was due to either needing to reboot or wait for Spotlight, what would have happened when I did the SuperDuper! Smart Update on top of the clean macOS install, if I had rebooted and waited? Same error or something else? Anyway, next milestone will be if it survives a Smart Update. I'd think it will. |

I can't see how Spotlight could interfere with this. Quite strange.
