Any idea if anyone can help out as to why the serial console is garbled once debian-installer kicks in? The text on the kernel boot was completely fine!

Agree - I had included the OSX tip for any future fellows reading this thread or searching for help - the Debian ISO itself was perfectly fine - the only two issues I faced were 1) the strange issue with the DVD drives booting properly only from DVD-RW media, and 2) a user error on not properly burning a bootable ISO on OSX.
