Right, this explodes because the architecture you're running on doesn't allow starting executables of the architecture you're trying to burn on the USB disk.

Thanks for filing this bug, this is a genuine issue that we had not anticipated in the other bug you linked -- marking Triaged/High.

For now, you may wish to use dd to create these images; for example:
$ dd if=ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdz bs=512

Will write the image to the USB device directly -- remember to make sure you pick the right device instead of /dev/sdz which should be your USB disk; since dd will happily write the contents of the image where you tell it to without confirmation. If you pick the wrong disk, you can say bye-bye to your data now.
