I have discovered the "strange" device format of the image is a hybrid
iso, and gparted simply does not recognise this as meaningful. I was
able to mount the iso as follows:

  sudo mount -o loop ./image.iso iso-contents/

... and then the mounted directory allows me read-only access to the
file system within the image.

As I said above, the Asus EFI CSM BIOS detects and executes the
hybridiso's bootloader. However, something goes wrong further into the
process. Perhaps this is because the hybrid iso's file system also
contains efi files and their presence confuses the BIOS. I will continue
to investigate.
