Hi :)
I can made USB with just dd and Ubuntu 11.10 Beta ISO. It works. It boots and install properly in EFI mode on my Mac! After install there is EFI GRUB2 displayed after reboot :)
Pendrive made like that boots on EFI 1.x, old BIOS, and I think it will boot on UEFI 2.x too :)

Title:
  usb-creator doesn't create EFI-bootable USB sticks

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  USB startup disk creator seems to create USB disks which can boot on
  traditional BIOS based PC's but not EFI based computers such as Apple
  Mac laptops, Jogglers, Google CR-48. This reduces the number of people
  who can test Ubuntu on machines that could significantly benefit from
  the testing.
