OK, that wasn't so bad: https://code.launchpad.net/~mwhudson/ubuntu/+source/casper/+git/casper/+merge/370351

It seems to work for your test case, my test case (where you dd the image then create a partition), and even for the case where you create a file called casper-rw containing an ext4 filesystem in a vfat partition.

I've made a new initrd with this change in at https://people.canonical.com/~mwh/initrd.new although it's 60 odd megs so it might be easier to follow my instructions above to repack the initrd for yourself.
