Hum, looks like a problem with mkudffs. Relevant debug messages look like:

UDF-fs: fs/udf/super.c:671:udf_check_vsd: Starting at sector 16 (2048 byte sectors)
UDF-fs: fs/udf/super.c:824:udf_load_pvoldesc: recording time 2019/08/01 09:47 (1078)
UDF-fs: fs/udf/super.c:836:udf_load_pvoldesc: volIdent[] = 'LinuxUDF'
UDF-fs: fs/udf/super.c:844:udf_load_pvoldesc: volSetIdent[] = '1564645645200563LinuxUDF'

UDF-fs: error (device ubdb): udf_read_inode: (ino 524287) failed !bh

So the fact that location tag was 0 in block 524287 (which should contain
VAT inode) suggests there's something fishy with how / where mkudffs
creates the VAT inode. Can you have a look?

BTW, mkudffs messages look like:
filename=/tmp/image
label=LinuxUDF
uuid=1564645645200563
blocksize=2048
blocks=524288
udfrev=2.01
vatblock=319
start=0, blocks=16, type=RESERVED
start=16, blocks=4, type=VRS
start=20, blocks=76, type=USPACE
start=96, blocks=16, type=MVDS
start=112, blocks=16, type=USPACE
start=128, blocks=1, type=LVID
start=129, blocks=95, type=USPACE
start=224, blocks=16, type=RVDS
start=240, blocks=16, type=USPACE
start=256, blocks=1, type=ANCHOR
start=257, blocks=31, type=USPACE
start=288, blocks=524000, type=PSPACE

which suggests that VAT was indeed allocated somewhere in the beginning of
the partition.
