What could help track it down is:

The 14.04.5 ISO seems to have the same layout as the 16.04.1 ISO.

I tried virt-install with --location pointing to the 14.04 ISO. Same error.

I'll try looking at differences in the virt-install code between older
versions and 1.3.2, and see why the newer version is handling ISOs
differently.

FYI, I added --debug and got this output:
