Looking at the source code live-initramfs *shouldn't* be responsible
in this case. Might be some other script like lvm, mdadm,
cryptsetup,.. Do you have LVM, SW-RAID or something like that on
your box?

IMO it would be worth a try if you could add 'set -x' to
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live and retry with a rebuilt
initramfs and check out what's going on.
