It is possible there's a problem in distro_const(1M) when it comes to the USB media.

What's concerning, however is this:

Another user recently had a problem with USB, but it turned out it was a bad USB drive on his end.  Please make sure.  Also, and this may be a documentation error, are you writing to the right disk device?
