Tails Installer fails to install on USB stick that has a isohybrid dd'ed to it

We should try to reproduce this and investigate:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76178
had to dd if=/dev/zero the beginning of the disk to work around it. 

I guess this means that the isobybrids we instruct people to make (as an alternative of burning a DVD) makes it so that users then will fail to install
Tails to *that* device, at a later stage, which isn't inconceivable that they
want.

if it matters, it was a pretty large (64 GiB) stick.
if it helps, the relevant part of the code is creator.py:843
that's where the exception was thrown.
