I just tried doing this on my machine.  I gave it 10 ISOs and they all 
mounted fine until I ram out of loop devices, so only 8 mounts.

I just went to look at the name of the ubuntu ISO for 10.04 and I think 
you might have a typo unless you changed the names of the ones on your 
system.  the name I have is:ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-i386.iso
The one in your fstab has an extra zero after the 10.04.  I'm guessing 
the same typo happenes with the 10.04.1 version as well.

I hope that's it because I can't reproduce your problem :(

Sorry again for the brain fart I had with the file system/options thing.
