I found another situation where it hangs for Uyghur:
if you start an installation on a machine having no network connection,
it hangs at the point where this dialog should appear:
Network configuration method:
.
From here you can choose to retry DHCP network autoconfiguration
(which may succeed if your DHCP server takes a long time to respond)
or to configure the network manually. Some DHCP servers require
a DHCP hostname to be sent by the client, so you can also choose
to retry DHCP network autoconfiguration with a hostname that you
provide.
.
Retry network autoconfiguration
Retry network autoconfiguration with a DHCP hostname
Configure network manually, ${wifireconf}
Do not configure the network at this time
However, this dialog does not appear, it hangs forever on a blank screen.
So, it's apparently a more wide-spread issue.

Possibly it's a resurgence of a bug we had noticed with arabic

Bug#983897: installation-reports: Installation in Uyghur hangs
Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Tags: d-i i18n Hello, I was trying the debian installer in Uyghur to test lowmem levels, and it seems that it just hangs when asking for user login/password, see the attached screenshot (obtained by just selecting Uyghur then all default answers). Running in Arabic however works fine so it doesn't seem to be a general RtoL-specific issue. Samuel
