OK having just done tests to show it working, I have re-triggered the bug, but in so doing have found a repeatable way to cause the bug. It does this on a Dell vostra 3500 and Toshiba A300D. Both KDE desktop spin, f21, x64.
Having just 'dd' a 16GB USB memory stick (above), I did the following.
Using 'gparted':-
1) Deleted the partitions.
2) Created 'msdos' partition table - this perhaps help trigger the issue, as previously I only re-formatted existing partitions.
3) Created 4096Mbyte(4GB) prim 1st partition.
4) Created 12GB prim part for rest of space.
5) Formatted both as FAT32.
6) Mark 1st partition with boot flag.
Unplug and re-insert uSB stick when done.
Run,
liveusb-creator --reset-mbr
Selected iso file, and non-destructive cp method.
Get error,

So repeating the command, lets it run without the error.
If I just format the partitions then it runs without the error.
But if I create a new partition table and format, then it gives the same error.
I have then repeated this on the same USB memory stick and on another stick, details below.
The same error occurs each time. Hope this helps to debug it.
