We can install to a disk image file using --image, would this work for
you instead of a loop device?

It should be possible to add loop device support, since that is how
the image install works -- you'd just (famous last words) skip the
initial loop setup of the image and point to a preexisting one. I'd
start by looking at the --image install code and go from there.
