I currently have just one CD to test this with, so I'm not sure the nesting is
really the problem, but I can see nothing else that distinguishes the
directories from the others that work correctly.

I made the image with mkisofs too, but I'm running 1.3.2, not current, so maybe
that is the difference. Do you have a 1.3.2 kernel somewhere to check if it is
also able to read your CD with the deeply nested path?
