The bug is not about the installer, it's about msec. You're a bit off there.
If you want to propose a change to the installer behavior, open up a bugreport
or start a new thread, and maybe provide a patch to fix what is broken now.
The default install includes an MTA (nail aka mailx) which is at least unable to
send mails to local users, as it seems to require sendmail.
This is a also seperate bug.

Again, Thierry was talking about msec-gui here, which is on-topic.
Initial OS installation does not matter here.
