I don't have any ideas off the top of my head.  But the first things I 
would ask/suggest are

- does the image exhibit the same behavior under qemu and/or real hardware?

- assuming it does, then you might try manually mounting the the image 
and looking at the filesystem (specifically /sbin/init), i.e. something like

# mkdir /mnt/test_prime
# mkdir /mnt/test_container
# mkdir /mnt/test_root
# mount -o loop /path/to/Fedora-8-Live-i686.iso /mnt/test_prime
# mount -o loop /mnt/test_prime/LiveOS/squashfs.img /mnt/test_container
# mount -o loop /mnt/test_container/LiveOS/ext3fs.img /mnt/test_root
# ls -l /mnt/test_root/sbin/init
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 35440 2007-10-10 14:54 /mnt/test_root/sbin/init

-dmc
