This means that only the first package ends up getting a Task

This isn't how image builds install tasks, for better or worse.
In lucid and earlier, the Task header is used but it's matched by hand rather than using the ^ syntax -- I'm not sure why though, it may be something to do with not wanting to install the packages that have the task header but are from a foreign architecture.
In mantic though, livecd-rootfs uses the package lists produced by germinate directly.
Given these package lists are what drive the Task header in the archive, I expect it doesn't make any difference though.

is still as
predictable as before - the resolving there doesn't change
(task-name^ expands to all packages with Task: task-name).
