(pt_chown has been removed for security reasons), and that's actually
the issue.

You really mean the other entries in the fstab are causing the
permissions of /dev/pts to be changed?
In that case given the issue is due to a user misconfiguration, I guess
we should just try to detect it, display a note and fail the
installation.
