It could be related to this known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1325801

According to 14.10 release notes
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseNotes#Boot
.2C_installation_and_post-install):

Due to changes in syslinux, it is not currently possible to use usb-
creator from 14.04 and earlier releases to write USB images for 14.10;
we believe that it is also not possible to use usb-creator from a 14.10
system to write USB images for earlier releases. For now the workaround
is to use a matching release of Ubuntu to write the images, but we
intend to issue updates soon to work around this incompatibility.
