USB flash key has nothing to do for the errors you mentioned. In fact, I
think the above errors are neither related to the USB image itself.
Installer logs will tell where the errors come from.

The testing installer image may be suffering from specific bugs/problems,
you can try with daily or weekly images or even with unstable installer
to avoid any glicth.
