This really should work.

I'm not sure this was working on previous releases
This doesn't work (and as Manuel rightly says, has never worked), because the protective partition on the 32-bit ISOs starts at sector 1, not sector 0. That prevents the iso9660 filesystem from being automatically detected and mounted. Starting the protective partition at sector 1 avoids a bug in some old BIOSs - see bug 5036 - so we can't change that. If you manually mount the raw device (e.g. 'mount /dev/sdb /mnt') then it will be detected and used. I don't know any way to fix this without re-introducing bug 5036.

Have never worked, not critical, no solution in sight -> setting normal prio. I suggest to keep bug open so others experiencing this see it, and if someone may get a bright idea... With work, i guess our tools could be made to do the "manual" mounting in previous post when needed, but our devs have full hands... Until then, For Errata, I presume? Possibly even in documentation saying that installer IOS repo do not work on 32 bit?

It does work if it's on DVD, just not on USB.
Yes. Like this? https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_8_Errata#32_bit_installer_must_be_on_DVD_to_work_as_repository
