Thank you for the follow-up. Unfortunately, I've put those servers to use and I cannot repeat my installation at this time. Feel free to close out this report. I plan to try turning on the trace some time in the future when I have the need to do another install.
One thing that makes these systems different is the amount of hard disk space. It is a RAID 5 array (using 3w-9xxx driver) and was initially 2500 GB, I found that grub-install would not work at all (apparently a known problem), so I adjusted the array to be 1800 GB and I was able to get the grub-install to work. I suspect this should not effect the 'apt-get install grub' portion of the Debian installation, so just an FYI.
