d-i creates a /cdrom -> /media/cdrom0 link, specifially to keep apt happy.
So the question seems to be, why isn't that working for apt in /target?

Ok, so you're going all the way thru to the end of the installation process,
which unmounts and ejects the CD, canceling when it says it's going to reboot,
and then going back and running pkgsel again.
The problem might be that base-installer adds this to apt.conf.d:
APT::CDROM::NoMount "true";
Acquire::cdrom {
mount "/cdrom";
"/cdrom/" {
Mount "true";
UMount "true";
};
}
And it's not removed until the very end of the installation. So if you
cancel and go back, you're left with an unmounted CD, and with apt configured
to never try to mount the CD.
If so, then moving base-installer's finish-install script to run before
cdrom-detect's would solve the problem. It could be tested by
removing /target/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00NoMountCDROM by hand and seeing it
pkgsel worked then. I'm not currently able to test this.
