I've fixed the bug in my local tree. It seems to be a CD9660 issue 
(thanks to Samuel J. Greear for helping with bug hunting).

UFS (and hence our USB images) doesn't have it. I guess it has to do 
with the dots in the directory names (like, kernel.GENERIC) which CD9660 
doesn't like.

I have also added this feature to the installer (locally as well) and am 
testing it at the moment. Will report back later.
