A workaround to avoid rebuilding the initramfs is to use TWO initramfs's. The second one contains just a symlink from scripts/casper-bottom/25disable_cdrom.mount to /bin/true. I.e.:

cd $(mktemp -d)
mkdir -p scripts/casper-bottom/
ln -s /bin/true scripts/casper-bottom/25disable_cdrom.mount
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > initrd-1755863.img

Copy the generated initrd-1755863.img to your TFTP/HTTP server, and pass it in the kernel cmdline. In iPXE vernacular:

kernel /images/cdrom/casper/vmlinuz initrd=initrd.lz initrd=initrd-1755863.img boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=10.161.254.11:/cdrom file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed --
initrd /images/cdrom/casper/initrd.lz
initrd /liveclone/initrd-1755863.img
