I used jessie as well, fresh debian-lan installation (which already
uses di-netboot-assistant, the missing files are copied manually, and
TFTP_ROOT=/srv/tftp in /etc/di-netboot-assistant/di-netboot-assistant.conf)
But the problem is not with the different installer versions, the very
first boot menu fails here without adding my modifcation.
What I did:
I removed the existing directory 'debian-installer', applied your patch
and testet the new setup. The tftproot '/srv/tftp' contains now:
debian-installer/ ldlinux.c32 libcom32.c32 libutil.c32
Booting a client via PXE fails with 'failed to load ldlinux.c32'.
I move the directory to debian-installer-jonas, remove the .c32-files
and use my version. Now only
debian-installer/
has been created in '/srv/tftp' and PXE-booting works fine offering
the installer menu. The directory trees are identical except that
*.c32 ended in the debian-installer dir:
diff -rq /srv/tftp/debian-installer-andi/ /srv/tftp/debian-installer-jonas/
Only in /srv/tftp/debian-installer-andi/: ldlinux.c32
Only in /srv/tftp/debian-installer-andi/: libcom32.c32
Only in /srv/tftp/debian-installer-andi/: libutil.c32

Same here :-/

No idea what's different in our setups/tests. Perhaps the above
informations give some hint on that.
Best regards,
