Hi, keep in mind that the live-* versions in stretch are *testing*
versions and therefore they *might* become chaotic at any time...
without a warning :)

Always use either stable or the latest version available (which are
the only ones supported)

Really? As far as I know this is an impossible situation...

The testing version should build "stretch" by default. There is no
guarantee it can build jessie

If you set your recommends to false you have to supply all necessary
packages for your configuration to work, as advised by live-manual.
You might be missing user-setup (among some other packages) that is
why the live user is not created
