While I'm not a member of the Debian-CD team as far as the netinstall
and CD are concerned, GNOME is too big to fit in either of them.
In fact you can read from the mailing list about lot of discussion
which went back and forth, see from
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/05/msg00550.html onwards.
I do find strange the Debian DVD-1 does not give you a GNOME option
though. While I haven't installed from a testing DVD, the list shows
gnome-shell and other things so you could have both GNOME - Flashback,
GNOME Classic as well as GNOME-shell all existing at one place.
Are these the links from where the DVD images were downloaded.
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/
Whichever image you downloaded, did you check its SHA1sum ?
an e.g. :-
$ sha1sum debian-live-7.4-amd64-gnome-desktop+nonfree.iso
c7d2909411f6b2eab7b3866c44053c4a8c683bcd
debian-live-7.4-amd64-gnome-desktop+nonfree.iso
I checked the list of the contents and it seems there are no issues
with GNOME :-
Found the list from here :-

If you update your /etc/apt/sources.list and update the index and
install task-gnome-desktop there is no reason for it not to work.
