The issue seems to be that the driver isn't loaded, and then is being

Not exactly. The module is loaded but fails to unload gracefully when the firmware is missing. This is actually a bug in the Linux kernel, not in the installer.

I vaguely remember that when I was running Bullseye for a short time it
didn't have a driver for the wireless/Bluetooth and required me to
download a driver from another site and DKMS it so I'm guessing that is
why the install works on Bullseye

Yes, the offending module does not exist in Bullseye's kernel (5.10).
