Was it an APPEND= line right at the top, that contained initrd=blahblah, that 
somehow became the default append, and was applied to memtest?
Because that was what it turned out to be, so I'm very happy that it's working 
now :)

So for the record, using isolinux 2.0.0 ( whoops, didn't see 2.0.1 ) and 
memtest86 v 3,0, putting 
LABEL memtest
KERNEL memtest
in isolinux.cfg, where memtest = memtest.bin renamed to memtest, works :)
