Any idea of what's different between your system and the OP's?

aquilarubra has wheezy upgraded to jessie. Presumably with systemd (however I don't see what systemd has to do with this).
My system is a few-days-old refracta8 install but quite a bit has changed. I should do a clean install and see if it happens the same. In the meantime, anyone else getting live-boot failure with a newer kernel might want to check that the initrd actually has been updated, the right one is being used and the overlay module is present.

Code: Select all
  `# you should see it in /lib/modules:
  lsinitramfs /path/to/initrd | grep overlay`

Just for the record, here's what I get in the ascii build that made the good snapshot.

Code: Select all
  `[email protected]
  :~$ lsinitramfs /initrd.img |grep overlay
  lib/live/boot/9990-overlay.sh
  lib/modules/4.3.0-1-686-pae/kernel/fs/overlayfs
  lib/modules/4.3.0-1-686-pae/kernel/fs/overlayfs/overlay.ko
  bin/boot/9990-overlay.sh
  [email protected]
  :~$ uname -r
  4.3.0-1-686-pae
  `

In refracta8 with 3.16 kernel, just the two 9990- scripts show up.
(And thanks for reminding me of that command. It'll get used in r2u.)
