Is earlier preseeding perhaps an option, i.e. changing the order to something like this: network detection + config, load preseed url, languagechooser ... >> - "After installation instead of reboot the machine switches off."

Do I have to file a seperate bug for these two problems? Can I do anything to help debugging it? The garbeling of the display seems to be timing related.
