Success! Finally. I created a new bootable installer using createinstallmedia and a fresh Mavericks download. I did the Pacific Daylight Time change just in case (though it sounds like voodoo, I’m prepared to believe anything at this point…) I was able to install from that disk without further problems and now have a working Mavericks OS. What didn’t work was trying to use the InstallESD.dmg directly. Creating a copy of it using DU/Restore worked, but it only created a pure copy of the disk image. That image was not bootable, and I was unable to make it so using createinstallmedia nor the Ars instructions (which apply to earlier versions of the OS anyway). It looks like the InstallESD approach is defunct from 10.9, though there may be something I’m missing. Thanks to everyone for their help. It certainly shows that upgrading as new versions of the OS are released should not be done without a great deal of thought.
