Isn't this a rationale for d-i to use the stable builds of syslinux present in testing (or potentially testing-proposed-updates) rather than unstable?
exactely; it is fundamentally broken to build a $distribution image containing anything outside the $distribution itself (which is why e.g. live-build doesn't do that (unless told otherwise for special 'needs')).
if it is (socially) not possible to fix the tools and therefore building $distribution means that $distribution+1 needs to be frozen too, then either freeze both $distribution and $distribution+1, or freeze a certain list of packages in $distribution+1 in addition to $distribution that are known-needed for $distribution (as syslinux).
keeping $distribution+1 unfrozen but at the same time not allowing it to be used as unfrozen is broken (i already said why using experimental doesn't work in this case).
