I used the arch-0.7 ISO, so I don't think it's a pre1. I've been
up-to-date on my packages from [current], [extra] and [community] up
until yesterday (just saw I need to update quite a few GNOME-related
packages this morning).

Anyway, it actually seems to work now. What I had forgotten was to make
my local.fdi file a proper XML file. Once I added the proper header and
enclosed it all in <deviceinfo> it started working properly.
