Hmm,
according to the man page systemd.generator:
SYNOPSIS
/path/to/generator normal-dir early-dir late-dir
1. normal-dir
argv[1] may be used to override unit files in /usr, but not those in
/etc. This means that unit files placed in this directory take precedence
over vendor unit configuration but not over native
user/administrator unit configuration.
2. early-dir
argv[2] may be used to override unit files in /usr and in /etc. This
means that unit files placed in this directory take precedence over all
configuration, both vendor and user/administrator.
3. late-dir
argv[3] may be used to extend the unit file tree without overriding
any other unit files. Any native configuration files supplied by the
vendor or user/administrator take precedence over the generated ones
placed in this directory.
systemd-fstab-generator uses argv[1], so this is normal-dir
<https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/fstab-generator/fstab-generator.c#L653>
dmsquash-generator.sh uses argv[2], so this is early-dir
<https://github.com/haraldh/dracut/blob/master/modules.d/90dmsquash-live/dmsquash-generator.sh#L53>
If I run test/TEST-16-DMSQUASH and rd.break before switch-root, I can see
switch_root:/run/systemd# find generator.early/
generator.early/
generator.early/dev-mapper-live\x2drw.device.d
generator.early/dev-mapper-live\x2drw.device.d/timeout.conf
generator.early/sysroot.mount
switch_root:/run/systemd# find generator
generator
generator/initrd-root-fs.target.requires
generator/initrd-root-fs.target.requires/sysroot.mount
generator/sysroot.mount
# systemctl show sysroot.mount |grep Path
FragmentPath=/run/systemd/generator.early/sysroot.mount
# cat generator.early/sysroot.mount

So, works as expected. The question is, why is your system different?
