I didn't really slow down and read this bit at first-  So you actually 
used the livecd+usb form?  I probably tried that once when I first wrote 
the code, but haven't even considered it since then.  I guess you must 
have by hand added something like overlay=UUID=bla to the kernel 
cmdline.  Of course the original incarnation of the patch supported the 
syntax overlay=auto which would scan all drives.  But that code scares 
my responsibility-averse nature, and I was happy to remove it when 
focusing on the liveusb case.  And also there was a bunch of related 
bash junk for dealing with finding multiple overlays.
