It is very obvious that this is what you want. Maybe the suggestion from Marc Deslauriers at Canonical is the way to go. (You have probably read his post in the ubuntu-quality mailing list)

"... I believe a simple way to eliminate every one of these issues at once in UDC would be to get rid of the persistence functionality. All of the currently supported images can now be written directly to a usb device as-is ... Perhaps in the future persistence
could be added back by creating a partition in the free space left over after copying over the image."

This is pretty much what I do with mkusb. I would be very happy with such things under the hood of the SDC. It will be easy for you to implement cloning. If you want to implement my method to make persistent live drives, I am willing to help and explain.
