I think this is an error in how you're trying to boot the installer or your
qemu invocation rather than a bug.
I don't really know anything about powerpc myself, nor how to use qemu for
powerpc, so I suggest you ask on the debian-powerpc list for help.
The installer does have serial console support and I'm not aware of any
issues with that on real powerpc hardware.
