The install is complete.  Booting into the new system results in the 
usual framebuffer display and normal console display when I hit ESC.  
However, plymouth on tty1 never ends, and X doesn't get started on any 
of the ttys.

There is an Xorg.0.log file which indicates that X takes a segfault.  
I'll assume that others are getting the same symptom, but I can provide 
the stacktrace (and log file) if wanted.

The messages prior to the stacktrace in the log are:
    AIGLX error: r600 does not export required DRI extension
    AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
    ...
    (II) RADEON(0): Setting screen physical size to 361 x 203

An explicit "service dm start" produces the same result.

This is a Radeon HD3200.
