This is, for better or worse, expected behaviour when using the
installer from the testing suite.
When a new kernel ABI propagates to testing then the installer is
invalidated until the next installer release, which may not follow for
some time depending on schedules etc.
The workaround during such periods is to use the daily installer builds
from http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/ .
