I think I've found the source of the problem, or at least the key difference. The bootdisk.ima on the iso image was generated using syslinux 3.20. If I take the bootdisk.ima file, and syslinux it using this machine, it creates a working boot CD. I'm using syslinux v 2.11, as provided in Debian Sarge. I'm not sure what the problem is beyond that, but hopefully this lead to the solution.
