I think I have tracked down this issue somewhat:
I tried installing with the settings documented above twice (all default
but going with German / Germany and participating in the popularity
contest). I got exactly the same crash to reboot both times.
I then tried installing with the same settings again, but going with
English / US this time. I got an error about util-linux depending on
not-yet-configured tzdata, but choose to continue and the installation
worked.
So it seems that the hurd installer crashes depending on the locale
selected at start.
