I thought about that and mentioned it to Henning Peters, who was over doing an install and he pointed out that an ISO is 'defragmented' and not dynamic, just like a CD. (I'm putting it badly, but I think you'll get it...)
You'd have to re-write sections of the image with the same number of bytes.

(Mounting ISOs (ro) from your HD *is* pretty cool though and wasn't terribly obvious to me at first...)
