I now believe the problem was caused simply by a lack of disk space.
The messages from the livecd-creator run showed that 6144MB was being
used for cache space.
The partition size for the run was 15GB, and the df command at
the start of the run indicated only ~5500MB unused space was
available.  (There was a 4GB swap partition enabled).
I've rerun the livecd-creator session in a 25GB partition, and
it has completed normally.
