What I did is modify the code to let guestmount do its thing by always using the "-i" option to inspect. I don't quite understand why that isn't the default behaviour.

It's not the default because of introspection issues with older versions of libguestfs.
You essentially did the same workaround as I did with setting partition=-1
I'll do a patch supporting a configurable partition ASAP.
