Sure, if you could try to narrow it down to a specific prerelease; see 
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/Obsolete/

It looks like you have two failures above; I'm interested in the latter 
(the one that doesn't go away, and that you said happens on isolinux as 
well.)

The smaller a range we can bracket it down to, the more likely it is to 
be solvable.
