I realized that I was running an d-i daily build which I flashed last
year (in December sometime) but I wasn't sure exactly which so I've just
retried with today's daily build and found the same issue.
I patched /target/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions on the fly
with the following was able to get past this point in the install:
diff --git a/hook-functions b/hook-functions

I've noticed which my other system which use nbd don't use any
partitions (so root=/dev/nbd0 not root=/dev/nbd0pX). Perhaps
non-partitioned is the common case when using nbd which is why it
appears to work for most people?
FWIW the partition layout which d-i selects if you pick all the defaults
(so guided all on one device or whatever it is called) has a separate
ext2 formatted /boot and a swap partition. I think the separate /boot is
a requirement of the hardware/firmware, or at least it is on some ARM
hardware, not sure why in this particular instance.
