It works fine for me, at least it did with Alpha (last point at which I tested). Quite a lot of the 'live image' testing we do is actually done with USB sticks, it's just easier that way.
Installing from a live image written to a USB stick is certainly expected to work, if you're having trouble with that please do file a bug.
I'm not using a live image. This is the main confusion point that I see people having. I am using a DVD install ISO and placing it on a USB drive.
Installing from a live image does work just fine - DVD ISO does not.
