Finally got a chance to test this more thoroughly. It turns out that
the install is failing because of my odd install method (dump the
install image on the disk, boot on it, overwrite the install media
with the install).
This used to work until your images from 23/9/2021, but fails with the
latest ones. However, using the disk to boot and then a USB key to
provide another set of install media worked perfectly, and I now have
a brand new XServe-G5!
I don't think it is worth worrying much about the odd install method.
This is unnecessary in most cases, and the workaround is easy (at
least in my case).
Thanks again for your precious help in getting this going!
