I can confirm the problem with the jaunty live daily desktop cd (april 14, 2009) and persistence. I just used usb-creator to create bootable usb stick of latest jaunty and during boot it goes to busybox and initramfs. However, if I press F6 during boot and remove "persistent" from kernel boot command line then it will boot OK.
