>From Canonical internal support team: After a bit of investigating (including my own trial and error) I believe this is working as intended. I think the key take away here is we need to define the purpose of the '--location' option.
"Distribution tree installation source" <-- You'll notice in the debug information that after mounting the iso it's trying to reach a MANIFEST, which it's not going to find in the directory structure of the .iso... but it will find via a proper distribution tree.
