Tried again with images from
http://people.debian.org/~fjp/d-i/s390/images/20100129-17:54/
and from
http://people.debian.org/~fjp/d-i/s390/images/daily/

The former reproduced the old problem; the latter works great (it’ll
take a while to finish, but at the end I hope to write an installation
report).

So whatever was wrong appears to have been fixed.  Thanks, FJP.
