That ISO requires El Torito floppy disk emulation, which iPXE doesn't 
support for CD-ROMs since almost nobody uses it.

You can use the (unzipped) memtest86+ binary from

   http://www.memtest.org/download/5.01/memtest86+-5.01.bin.gz

It's a Linux zImage kernel binary, which iPXE can load directly.

As Andrew mentioned, you can also use the PXE-bootable version of 
memtest86+.  It looks as though the memtest86+ maintainers ignored these 
patches, but you can find them (for version 4.20) at

   http://git.ipxe.org/people/mcb30/memtest.git/shortlog/refs/heads/pxe

with a prebuilt binary at

   http://boot.ipxe.org/memtest.0
