The simple answer is because we create the appliance image (it's an ext2/3/4 filesystem) using e2fsprogs, and that library wouldn't know how to

Eric, what do you think of Pavel's analysis and/or suggested fix below?

In addition to what Rich already said, there are a couple of points: a) a raw image is generally always faster, since it is a direct bit-by-bit representation
