I've been mingling in the sysinstall code while I ponder and take notes for designing a new install program, so I'll take a look at this. It's only one of the sysinstall PRs that really need to be looked at. There are a number of others that are open, that I haven't had a chance to verify, relating to sysinstall replacing the boot manager even if they specified to leave it alone. Just in case anyone else has thought about the fix for this check me here and see if this sounds legit...
