You should be able to use /sbin/mount_cd9660 to mount the area seen by Windows (ISO9660 with Joliet).
mkdir mount-point
sudo /sbin/mount_cd9660 -r /dev/... mount-point
To make an image:
dd if=/dev/... of=x.raw conv=notrunc bs=2048
Also try installing cdrtools and using the 'readcd dev=/dev/... -clone f=x.raw' command.
Both of these may result in a proper image that has the ISO9660 filesystem and the HFS. You should be able to mount the ISO9660 file system with the image with /sbin/mount_cd9660 just the same.
