I believe this is fixed in the latest release of mkisofs (and mkhybrid,
as it's based on mkisofs) - I haven't tried it, but comments in the
mkisofs code say:

	SVD for El Torito. MUST be immediately after the PVD!

and the El Torito SVD is now written out immediately after the PVD and
before any Joliet SVD.

mkisofs-1.12b4 is available from ftp://andante.jic.com/pub/mkisofs
and mkhybrid-1.12a4.0 is available from ftp://ftp.ge.ucl.ac.uk/pub/mkhfs
