I think this doesn't apply to Windows 8/8.1, because it requires Key to install and select the matched image yes, key can be skipped with ei.cfg, but using Autounattend.xml disables ei.cfg and pid.txt
ei.cfg still works, because for modded WMC there is no "installation key" for this edition, you need to remove all the product key scripts(in OP) and use ei.cfg. I had tried with the generic Pro key and Setup returned error "no usable image found". pid.txt doesn't work like you said.

Just today downloaded the WADK latest version and I haven't had updated my unattend.xml file, so I just pasted the info about the new settings. Sure next time will put the whole structure of XML
Edited post#2 with sysprep procedures ..... I know I should be able to skip the "accept EULA" and "enter product key", but too tired to test things.
