If I try to CTRL-C the livecd-creator during the RPM-installation step (which for my current spin takes 10 minutes or so) I end up with a hung /dev/loop0 mount that I cannot umount.  I find I have to reboot to clear the mount.

You'ld actually want to remove the loop device mount with a little 
utility called 'losetup'. View it's man page to get the details.
