All defaults so it was standard install. did not do anything more, booted 
without interacting with IPL.

Then this is extremely strange and unexpected. There must be a hppa-specific 
hack in
one of the installer components which breaks this.

At which step are you seeing the error message regarding Buster? Does it install
the base system? Does it show up after asking for the mirror to install extra
components?

It happens during "Download installer components", before detecting the disks 
etc.

The keyrings files:

# find / -name '*gpg*'

You should look under /target, not in the installer's chroot.

There is no /target yet.

What keyring should contain the debian-ports key and how should it get to the 
installer image?

The proper keyring is "debian-ports-archive-keyring".

This package contains the followwing keyring files:
/usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring-removed.gpg
/usr/share/keyrings/debian-ports-archive-keyring.gpg

They seem to be missing from the installer initramfs:

~ # ls -l /usr/share/keyrings/
