Hi, I can verify this behaviour of syslinux. To create bootable CDs under debian, we have a chroot-woody installed.
Any bootimage burned to a CD using unstables syslinux (as of the time of this writing: 2.11-0.1) makes the CDs non-bootable. The symptoms are either an empty screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left hand corner after the boot process started (iso generated with mkisofs burned directly) or the boot process loads the boot image, starts unpacking the kernel and then displays colorful ANSI junk on screen (if the ISO has been padded with a megabyte of binary 0's from /dev/zero before burning). In the later case the bootprocess doesn't seem to be able to finish extracting the kernel before exploding. Since this seems to be reproduceable, I can supply more information if needed.
