debootstrap at no point explicitly returns 141. This must thus be the result of
some command run by debootstrap. The message "I: Base system installed
successfully." is not really the last thing debootstrap does, so there is some
leeway for further errors to pop up.

I'm afraid that you need to investigate further, and it seems like nobody ever
encountered that error before, so I don't see too many ways to help you.

What I would do:

Hack debootstrap (the main script) and add set -e -v -x to make it really really
verbose. Add some explicit echo "retval: $?" at the end. And so forth...

Sorry,
Michael
