Why would you want more feedback; what value does that actually add?
Anyway if you really want to know what is happening when, try booting the
installer with "install priority=medium" next time.

The installer does not change the hardware clock, so no idea what can have
happened here. Have you checked that /etc/default/rcS does have the
correct value for UTC?
If you can reproduce the problem, we may be able to find out what happens.

No, that sounds like a kernel issue. I guess it is a known issue if you
were able to find that workaround. Could you tell us where you found that
information?
