I would suggest to add this problem and the work around (even with dd, if it may be) in a release note, known bugs or even in a separate txt file in the distro, as this sudden change will surely caught others off guard.

Hi,
Rui Ribeiro:
It is confirmed debian-live-6.0.1-i386-standard.iso is mountable on my
Macbook.
Oh well. It really seems to be about -partition_offset 16.
Now the producers of isohybrid images have the choice between
mountable on Apple systems or bootable from USB stick on a
Kontron CG2100 "carrier grade server" (as reported in march 2011 on
Syslinux mailing list).
The standards violation is on the side of Apple.
Yup, agreed. Based on that, I'm not really convinced to change what we
are doing here. Rui: I would suggest you file a bug with Apple about
this.
