More and more BIOs are looking for a partition table on usb sticks instead of just reading the MBR. So, it would be nice if Haiku On a Stick allowed
to set such an MBR+partition on the disk as an option.
Think that would be harder, Haiku On a Stick only takes a raw image and
writes it on the disk with Flashnul, its' also written in C# so no low
level access

It's actually just a matter of prependig some bytes to the image and changing some offsets as makebootable do. You can do it all before running flashnul.
