The plot thickens: I have gnu-fdisk installed and that one doesn't deal well with loopback devices that use all-zero files. It gives an error message (Error: Unable to open /home/juergen/debian-live/test.img - unrecognised disk label.) and quits with exit code 1, which seems to be causing issues in lh_losetup. Reverting to the fdisk provided in util-linux (by purging gnu-fdisk, in my case) fixed this issue for me.
