I've built a test image now using the cherry-picked patch from 1.2.5, and confirmed that the -partition_offset option now happily coexists with -isohybrid-gpt-basdat in all of my testing (USB boot on real UEFI hardware; USB and CD boot in BIOS VM; USB boot in UEFI VM). So that seems to be a suitable fix.

However, as the resultant image still appears to not have a valid MBR partition table, there doesn't seem to be any advantage to adding this option back to our builds for 12.10. So I think we'll leave it as is with -partition_offset 16 disabled for now.
