Did you actually verify that by checking whether there was an HFS filesystem
created and mounted to /target/boot/grub after the partitioning step?
I checked the ppc64 image, it contains the necessary packages and I don't see
a reason why the installation shouldn't work unless the HFS partition was
intentionally removed. But in that case, the installer should warn you.
I don't see a reason at the moment why your particular problem should occur.
