No, it should not. Refusing to continue an installation that will inevitably be a failure is how it should act. Refusing to continue would not keep anybody from a simple base install if that is what they want; they can have a compatible network card attached, even a cheap USB one, and back out of the installation after the reboot. Having to have a configured network card is not a burdensome requirement. Even server installations are going to want to continue past the reboot point, and choose what kind of server the system will be, install the appropriate packages, and get security updates.
