It just segfaults, leaving a hefty 100-200 MB core file in its wake.
Running said core through gdb invariably gives a 'cannot access memory
at 0x$foo' error. Since I don't know gdb too well, and since the only
manual is in GNU info format, which I abhor (replacing man pages? What
was RMS smoking / sniffing / injecting? Er, never mind. I don't want to
know), I doubt that I'll be able to provide any more information than
that.

Not yet.

Various places, mostly after the "Installing drivers" stage.

Never got the chance to do so.

Again, I haven't been able to successfully install with any options in
order to make a comparison.

Unix is user friendly. However, it isn't idiot friendly.
