Booya! Nailed it. My settings in Windows were correct, but my settings in Nero Burning ROM were off. After a tip-off from a user in the MSFN forums and a little experimentation, I figured out that I had to set Nero to burn in the ISO 9660+Joliet "File System" and the ASCII "Character set (ISO)" on Nero's "ISO" tab. Otherwise, either the dollar signs in the $OEM$ directory name were changed to underscores, the spaces in file/directory names were changed to underscores, or the Joliet file system was omitted completely. It works now and works well. And it wasn't Microsoft's fault...imagine that.
I'd just like to thank the person who posted this information. The completely undocumented "I386\$OEM$" trick was the answer to my problem of not being able to get TXTSETUP.OEM working on a Windows XP unattended DVD. I was about to give up and start editing TXTSETUP.INF, but thanks to this post, I don't have to resort to that method.
The information about the file system and character set also helped, as the reference XP disc I was using was created in-house (using Microsoft's CDIMAGE utility) and hyphens within filenames within that ISO image were replaced with underscores, causing problems later in setup. I just made sure to extract the Joliet filesystem instead of the ISO9660 filesystem and all is well. I ended up burning an ISO9660+Joliet+UDF disc for the unattended DVD, and it's working great. Ignore the message that ImgBurn gives you about OS install discs only using the ISO9660 filesystem!
To Intel: *PLEASE* document the use of the "I386\$OEM$" directory (in addition to the $OEM$\TEXTMODE directory) in your textmode driver instructions on your website!
