I find what is fixed from 3309 to 3310.
Should be described there

A priori, no reason to upgrade related to your issue.

If it is custom build, you could test with the other ways to make to a bootable
usb-key.
I have used the 3 flavors (FDD,HDD,ZIP). You could find the receipt at
http://ipcop.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ipcop/ipcop/lfs/usb-key?revision=1.1.2.4&view=markup&pathrev=IPCOP_v1_4_0
This is a Makefile script

Maybe you could too test with syslinux-3.84 to verify it is not a v4 issue?
Or test isohybrid from 4.0.3 if you have an iso to boot from.
