I also tested 4.05, and it did NOT search the install directory if such
directory is not in the "expected" list. Tomas also got the same result (as
he wrote in a previous email in this same thread).
About ISOLINUX, I would say it must be considered too. Generating different
behaviours makes it more difficult to write cfg files and to troubleshoot
them for the final user ("it worked in my UFD but not in optical media" and
alike).
