Here is what I get though:

# wget http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/aarch64/CentOS-7-aarch64.img.xz
# xz -d CentOS-7-aarch64.img.xz
# pygrub CentOS-7-aarch64.img 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/pygrub", line 926, in <module>
    raise RuntimeError, "Unable to find partition containing kernel"
RuntimeError: Unable to find partition containing kernel

Which is much more like what I would normally expect (and matches your
description of the image layout  think).

That was on a random x86_64 test box because that was all I had to hand,
but I'd be pretty surprised if something like this behaved very differently
on arm64. 

Ian.
