That must have been what happened to me! I couldn't track it down,
but what happened was when I re-logged in to the system, it wouldn't
accept the passwords I had entered in the dialogs previously. I had to
erase them in /etc/passwd using the installer. I do remember seeing
something about base-passwd.
Please file a bug, including the relevant versions of the packages
and boot-floppies.
