however, using the --erase option will force also a block-copy from  
the source drive, which can only be performed if the source drive can  
be unmounted. which the boot volume cannot.

I fail to see from that how the lack of one will result in the drive  
being unbootable, as well as stand by the fact that I have asr'd a  
running volume to duplicate it, and then rebooted from that  
duplicate. The only step needed was to use either bless or the  
Startup Disk prefpane to bless the new volume.
