This is addressed at the friend:
You could mount without interpreting the RR extensions (-o norock) or try
"isoinfo" which AFAIK will just inspect an ISO, not copy files from it:
,--
| ISOINFO(8) ISOINFO(8)
...
| -R Extract information from Rock Ridge extensions (if present) for
| permissions, file names and ownerships.
'--
I know of no app that'll mount anything using a re-implementation of the
"mount" syscall.
