You could test the font rendering with the "vesa" driver, just to make
sure that this is not some weird bug in the intel driver. I would also
check if adding
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
makes the intel driver behave differently.
We can also still try to shake some more trees and hope that something
interesting will fall down; please post the output of
xrdb -query | grep Xft
debconf-get-selections | grep fontconfig
(debconf-get-selections is part of the package debconf-utils)

I think the installer might default to the vesa driver as a "safe bet",
since it does not really need hardware acceleration and other advanced
graphics driver features.
