Works for me, from this morning's git (ba2ed84fe6a7). I certainly get all the way to the "Select a language" screen of the installer. Oh. Hah! I just tried again, cutting and pasting your command-line. You've got unicode quotes, not ascii ' (\x27). That gets passed through to the kernel as-is and prevents console=ttyS0 from being parsed properly. So the kernel output simply isn't going where you thought, and in this case, nowhere at all. r~
