I'd say it is worth pursuing. You should enter a bug report. I assume
you know that the network is actually up during the install, e.g.
because you're doing a network install. You would need to have a USB
stick or a floppy disk available during install. When you get whatever
error you get during the updates phase at the end, switch to virtual
console 2 via CTRL-ALT-F2 and type "bug". This will place a diagnostic
file on the USB or floppy called report.bug, which you should *attach*
(not cut and paste) to the bug report. It should contain the syslog,
which should itself contain messages indicating why the network failed
to come up.
