Comment(by greenfeld):

 This line in /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk (in this case from livecd-
 tools-16.10-1.fc16.x86_64) looks like it might be the culprit:

 {{{
 sed -i -e "s/CDLABEL=[^ ]*/$TGTLABEL/" -e "s/rootfstype=[^
 ]*/rootfstype=$TGTFS/" -e "s/LABEL=[^ ]*/$TGTLABEL/" $BOOTCONFIG
 $BOOTCONFIG_EFI
 }}}

 What I believe is the source isolinux.cfg file from OLPC-School-
 Server-0.7beta2-i386.iso which gets turned into extlinux.conf contains
 entries which contain quoted strings with spaces, which the above line
 cannot handle:

 {{{
 label linux
   menu label ^Install a new system from kickstart
   menu default
   kernel vmlinuz
   append initrd=initrd.img ks=hd:LABEL="OLPC School Server 0.7
 i386":/olpcxs.ks upgradeany
 }}}
