SMART shows no errors. Zero sectors reallocated, zero pending. Besides,
a daily d-i image doesn't run into this problem.

That's the kernel that was in the "netboot" tarball...

Yep, I've hit this multiple times. Installing squeeze is currently not
possible on this system due to this bug, I'm afraid.

I used
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
Dated 2011-03-15 02:54 UTC, size 8829576 bytes. I extracted the kernel
and initrd, placed them on the hard disk, and booted via GRUB2.

Already done---see bug #628752. That one had a different problem, but at
least filesystem creation worked. I think this may all come down to a
fix that needs backporting.
