First of all, I'm sorry I appear to have been neglecting this bug. It's
hard to debug something you can't see! And I've had lots of other things
on my plate unfortunately.

I don't think anyone can claim with a straight face that casper-rw is
anything other than opaque. We could have an argument about whether
'writable' is better or not but that's not very interesting.

And, well, I still can't reproduce this. I have tried, several times, on
real hardware. It's a bit harder to test on hw currently because my
usual test machine is in an office I can't travel to thanks to the
COVID-19 lockdown, but I tried your instructions and booted the
resulting disk on my machine and it still mounted the casper-rw
partition.

So let's try something else. I've uploaded a hacked up initrd to
https://people.canonical.com/~mwh/casper-initrd.gz. If you can drop this
over the one that came on the ISO and boot there should be two files
present: /run/udev-ls.txt and /run/udev-dbg.txt. Can you boot a failing
system and attach the files to the bug? udev-dbg.txt will be a few
hundred kilobytes, the other one will be small.
