I believe it's simply installing GRUB on the USB drive other than the physical HD itself. I just installed the beta of Ubuntu 10.10 using Unbootin and I was able to get it to boot when I booted from the flash drive. I have no idea why it chooses to install the boot loader there, but apparently it does.
