I was fooled by the implantisomd5 error message, they do not conflict. 
implantisomd5 tells me for a hybrid and normal F11 Beta Live iso image:

| ERROR: Application data has been used - not implanting md5sum!

This should probably mean, that there is already a md5sum implanted. Using 
"implantisomd5 --force *.iso" works and the iso still boots as a HD in qemu.

Should it be tested with the original F10 syslinux package or does this not 
matter?
