The only way this could happen is if the profile is bad or not linked up properly inside the chroot. I'll have to fetch the amd64 livecd and find a machine to test on to try to reproduce this.

I may have set up the partitions correctly, so this may have caused the failure the first time. The other problem I then during installation is that it would fail if I tried to install x11 as additional components. I redid the installation and did not select any additional packages and I was successful. After rebooting, I was not able to install x11 due to build errors with mkfontconfig-1.0.3, which is needed by almost every package.
Okay, so it sounds like you didn't reformat your partitions before installing.
