We saw similar happen when moving from 10.3 to 10.4.

Our "Restore" partitions were 10.3 but when booted to them Casper wouldn't
properly install 10.4 on our "Macintosh HD" partitions. No amount of
retrying would work.

I worked around it temporarily by enabling the root account on the Restore
partition and logging in as root until I could later erase and install a
10.4 Restore image.

Hope this helps!
