I realize this is a major change, but I wonder about the installer having an option to zeroize the disk, so that if someone is trying to do an install getting rid of everything, they can, and then not have these issues. I tend to do this manually, and did so in the process of wiping an old macos 10.11 install and trying to install 9.0_RELEASE, on a 2010ish MacBook Pro.
