This means that the boot sector of the NTFS partition is loaded by BootMgr and control is passed to it.

I can do it, of course. But I doubt if the problem is in the MBR: it seems that the MBR does what it should. I think you should also dump a few initial sectors of the NTFS partition to a file -- say, 32 sectors starting from the boot sector. Instead of posting the files, you can send them directly to me.
