i've just reproduced such a failing install inside a KVM.
see (combined) screenshot attached from first boot.

i've snapshotted the VM at different stages and can provide you with one 
that just boots for the first time (snapshot3, see screenshot).
tell me if you're interrested in investigating it.


here's a log of what i did:

booted 
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-6.0.2-amd64-rescue.iso 
(sha1=0e5d9409719e657de4cbd9f355545cdc4c869038)
expert text install
selected some udebs (parted, reiserfs, squash, virtio)
hostname = file.lan
partition
   manual
     for all 4 disks:
       GPT
       p1: 6MB   BIOS BOOT
       p2: 250MB RAID1 BOOT
       p3: 768MB SWAP
       p4: 3.3GB RAID6 VG/PV
     configure sw raid:
       md0: RAID1 /dev/sd[a-d]2: /boot (ext2)
       md1: RAID6 /dev/sd[a-d]4: LVM PV (VG=vg-sys)
     configure LVM:
       LV system: /dev/md1 (4GB) / (reiserfs)
====snapshot1====
