Interesting that it seems to be working for you Evan. I haven't re-
encountered the bug as I've been upgrading my Ubuntu systems since 10.10
rather than doing fresh installs. As I said in my original post, it was
a repeatable bug with unetbootin 494 and ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso.
I tried several times with different USB sticks etc.

The other factors of interest were:
* no cd/bd-rom drive in the system 
* no internet connectivity (the wi-fi card wasn't supported out of the box)

I tried to muck around with the 40cdrom file as others have suggested
here but didn't have much luck, perhaps due to my lack of a network
connection (which bdowning suggests is necessary if you attempt that
method).
