I've seen the testing of a already burned iso fail for a number of
reasons, the iso header size is just one of them.  We embed a self check
(mediacheck) at least on the CD and DVD isos to work around this.  If
anything, I'd say this deserves a bug filed against mkisofs, and/or the
implantisomd5 application.  I'm not inclined to truncate isos.
