I  may have found an answer:

This seems to only occur if I format the USB in Ubuntu 11.10 (Trisquel 
5.5) disk-utility. I am including a transcript of such a session below.[1]

In Ubuntu disk-utility; If I format a USB with either GPT or Fat with a 
Fat directory /dev/sdb1. I get the need to repeat the command string as 
the first try ends with  "parted: invalid token: legacy_boot".  When I 
repeat a second time with up arrow in terminal it writes a working EFI USB.

I just tested the same process in a Beta F17 Desktop x86-64 HD install 
using the same scripts and Fedora-17-Beta-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso.
The EFI USB was created with no problems. It started immediatly with no 
"Waiting for devices to settle..."
