I just tested your changes, by simply updating scripts/casper-helpers from the 2018.07.15 eoan-desktop-amd64.iso in http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ with your proposed ones (the instructions on how to recreate initrd were very helpful btw), and I too can confirm that the case I have been testing (vfat partition with copy of the ISO content + casper-rw partition) is fixed. Persistent partitions now seem to work beautifully with Ubuntu Live. Great work!! Btw, I should point out that, the reason I've been pushing for this issue to be fixed is that I am the developer of Rufus, which (currently [1]) is the application Ubuntu recommends when creating a bootable Ubuntu USB Flash Drive on Windows. And because this has been requested by a quite few users, I very recently added the ability to create persistent partitions. However, this bug made it a bit vexing to not be able to properly use that feature with Ubuntu (which is why, at the moment, Rufus does not automatically add 'persistent' to the kernel options when creating the drive -- I'm planning to add that once Eoan is out). So I really appreciate the effort spent on fixing this.
