Failed to boot when I tried it. I used FAT32 for the first partition, ext4 for the second, and added a third ext4 partition for persistence. Using gparted, I set the boot flag on the second partition and dd'd the iso to that partition.

As an alternative to your proposal, to avoid needing an additional USB drive for safe file transfer to windows, I've been extracting the iso contents to a FAT drive using 7-zip and making it bootable with syslinux. Works with wheezy, haven't tried with jessie. Can't get persistence file to work on FAT, though.
