It sounds as though you're happy that the version of d-i that's getting onto the target machine is trusted, and you're happy for that image to be rather larger than d-i usually is. That being the case, why not just boot a real Linux live system as your boot system, and have that do whatever you need? I'd be tempted to make the image that you are wanting to install also be capable of installing itself (conditional on the presence or absence of some kernel parameter, or detecting how it booted and deciding based on that, say). If that's not practical for some reason, then getting something like grml as a starting point seems likely to be much less frustrating than trying to work around the limitations of d-i.
