Thanks to both of you for finding solutions to this problem!

Based on what you've said; I think the following additional line for 
bootstrap.vbs (using os.RegWrite() rather than invoking reg.exe) should 
work; if anyone has time to test it then I'll happily update the SCCM howto:

   Set os = WScript.CreateObject ( "WScript.Shell" )
   os.Run "%COMSPEC%", 7, false
   os.Run "%COMSPEC% /c title Initialising... && wpeinit " & _
          "&& net start dnscache", 1, true
   os.RegWrite ( "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PEBootType", _
                 "Ramdisk:OpticalDrive", "REG_SZ" )
   os.Run WScript.ScriptFullName & "\..\TsmBootStrap.exe /env:WinPE " & _
          "/configpath:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\sms\data", 1, true
