Thank you for trying to reproduce the symptom.
I tried
* -device virtio-gpu-pci -device usb-kbd
* -device virtio-gpu-pci -device vitio-keyboard-pci.
with qemu-system-aarch64.
On my own built QEMU disk image, in both cases,
* On /dev/tty1, arrow keys print ^[[A ^[[B and
* on /dev/ttyAMA0 they just print ^[.
This symptom is independent of Debian Installer Alpha 3, and
looks a bug in qemu-system-arm or linux-image-arm64.
So I reassign this to qemu and retitle this.
/dev/tty1 is unusable by d-i Alpha 3 with the default kernel command line,
and I added "console=tty1" to the kernel command line as
I was told at the Debian ARM mailing list.
Then I am now able to use arrow keys on the graphical installer! Thanks!
This is not an errata of d-i, but adding this workaround "console=tty1" to
https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/errata
may be helpful to users.
