Sound like the user-setup part of the finish-install.d scripts is not executed. The root password is gathered in the postinst, and set in the finish-install.d script. Can you provide the last 500 lines of the installation log, /var/log/installer/syslog, to make it possible to try to figure out what is going on? I have not investigated the issue, just wanted to provide some pointers for those that got time to look into this.
