It works fine for me, at least it did with Alpha (last point at which I
tested). Quite a lot of the 'live image' testing we do is actually done
with USB sticks, it's just easier that way.

Installing from a live image written to a USB stick is certainly
expected to work, if you're having trouble with that please do file a
bug.
