It seems this is a recurrent issue. Are you using the "expert" installer mode? If yes, retry the GRUB install several times, I don't know why but the installer usually gets stuck in this step and after some retries it -sometimes- finally can get installed. If that also fails you can skip the step of the bootloader install (always from an expert install), install as usual and then manually boot the new system by means of a LiveCD → boot installed system. Once you're in, you can install GRUB as usual. Another option could be using a different installer image (wheezy with sid's installer or a daily/monthly snapshot), but that will require an additional download.
