Generally, xCAT recommends to use the mac address to specify the boot network interface. That means during the genimage, no specific interface needs be specified, but configure the mac address for node and set installnic=mac so that during the boot of stateless image, the interface which specified with the specific 'mac' will be used.
So the problem was that did you configure your node correctly with the mac and installnic attributes I guess. If you really want to specify the network interface by yourself, just use the -i flag anyway.

As a result, the image that is generated is missing ifcfg-eth0 file, and hardeths fails on the node. Am I missing configuration somewhere that would give me the missing -i flag for my genimage line?
