I had the same result while trying to bootstrap my system which uses home-manager, which uses fetchTarball also. Thanks for making the report.

Is this bug upstream? Is there an issue opened for it?

i think you can work around the problem by copying the output of fetchTarball from /nix/store to /mnt/nix/store using nix copy --to local?root=/mnt/ /nix/store/theoutput
but the hard part is finding what the output from fetchTarball was
