Okay. I think we're onto something here. I initially tried to reproduce this and couldn't, no matter what I tried. That was from my local mirror. I then tried it on "Install from Internet" mode and was able to reproduce it. I think this might have to do with the fact that my local mirror has a copy of the old version, whereas the mirror you are using may not have one as old as .12 or whatever your current version is. Anyway, I will look into it more as I am very interested in finding the things that make setup a royal pain in the ass for users.
