partition it reads the boot loader binary from. The partition id does get
set automatically to the correct value depending on the value of fstype
(eg. 0x83 for ext3 or 0x0c for fat32), but I couldn't find a way to set it
to an arbitrary value.

I ran into this problem as well, but with parted. My hack was to use dd to
write the correct type ID into the image's MBR after I finished creating
the partitions on the image file.
