Ah, this was fairly easy...
The error is the result of there being _two_ debian-installer processes: 
the original one on tty1 and the one from ssh.

This results in:
  # pidof debian-installer
  301 5165
This of course makes 'readlink /proc/$(pidof debian-installer)/fd/0' fail.

Just for the record and to help the fix:
  # readlink /proc/301/fd/0
  /dev/vc/1
  # mapdevfs /dev/vc/1
  /dev/tty1
  # readlink /proc/5165/fd/0
  /dev/pts/1
  # mapdevfs /dev/pts/1
  /dev/pts/1
