Thank you for your report. This does not look like something that can be fixed or even something that should be worked around in the installer. I suspect it's a bug in syslinux. It looks like it does not work correctly with the Mac OS X TFTP server. It may well be that this problem is related to the one reported in #570273. There we've seen that syslinux (also for both Lenny and Squeeze) works correctly with tftpd-hpa, but not with TFTP server from the tftpd package. I'm reassigning both reports to the syslinux package.
