Your suspicion was absolutely right. Depending on whether or not the serial management card is installed the console device as exposed to user-space becomes either ttyB0 or ttyS0: With the serial management card the kernel reports: console handover: boot [ttyB0] -> real [ttyB0] while without it reports: console handover: boot [ttyB0] -> real [ttyS0] The seconds case obviously matches what d-i assumes and work out of the box, the first one only with the hack you described.
