I just tried it as root:
isohybrid install-amd64-minimal-20140828.iso
dd if=/home/joseph/Downloads/install-amd64-minimal-20140828.iso of=/dev/sda
bs=4096 sync
And the USB still can not boot it :-/
This is rather strange.
What do you see when you run
fdisk -l /dev/sda
*after* you have completed dd and sync as you show above?

Yes, indeed I find it very strange as well.
I just re-run the dd on my faster box.
dd if=/home/joseph/Downloads/install-amd64-minimal-20140828.iso of=/dev/sdb
