The preseed is packed into the initrd by utah. For d-i images, putting preseed.cfg at the root of the initrd seems to do the trick. For casper/ubiquity, we use a casper-bottom script to copy preseed.cfg into the root of the live filesystem before pivoting into it. I can get you more details if necessary, but as Martin indicated, we've been using this technique for a while now without issue. Additionally, I'm using a preseed with a slightly stronger password that's still having the problem, if that makes a difference.
