I had this problem too: Lguest assumes 1MB when loading bzImages, and the only time that gets changed is when building from an x86-64 config. I considered it purely an lguest issue. The correct fix is to have lguest run bzImages rather than trying to unpack them itself, but that requires a bootloader change, and the proposals to do that got lost in a flurry of far more ambitious patches. Jeremy would know the status of that work...
