That was exactly what was thinking when I first saw this,
turned out I was wrong.... :-)

Where do you put the pause/exitemu?
This is what doit.bat contains:
----
IF EXIST c:\netinst\1569087.tmp EXITEMU
format /z:seriously /q /u /a /v: c: /y
if errorlevel 1 exit 1
xcopy /s /e /y Y:\ C:\
Z:
cd Z:\os\winxpsp2\i386
winnt /rx:lang /s:Z:\os\winxpsp2\i386 /u:C:\netinst\unattend.txt
----
the noCycling-flag file part of doit.bat is created by install.pl in this
section:
----
# Batch script to run after this script exits.
my $doit = "$netinst\\doit.bat";
if($is_linux) {
# xcopy will copy a file that will prevent a cycling of DOSemu
# this is tested as the first command
# The filename itself
my $noCycling = "$netinst\\" . int(rand(10000000)) . ".tmp";
# First of all, if the checkpoint file exist, leave DOSEmu
unshift @doit_cmds, "IF EXIST $noCycling EXITEMU";
push @doit_cmds, 'xcopy /s /e /y Y:\\ C:\\';
# have the XCOPY command copy over the checkpoint file
write_file($noCycling, 'prevent cycling of DOSemu');
}

I might be a release with only dosemu first, and just ripping out dosemu is
probably out if the question.
So, fixing this should be done in any case.
The question stands:
does '/c/netinst/xxxxx.tmp' exists when the 'loops' happen?
It puzzles me that I dont see this behavior...
