you can't have a persistent+writable system image at the moment. the emulator currently creates a temporary file, copies all of system.img, then uses this for the /system partition when running. When it exits, the temp file is destroyed. this will change in a later release of the SDK. For now, you'll need to hack the emulator sources to do what you want.
