I repeated the install with the Live USB image. While doing so, I recalled that *during* the "Finish the installation" step, I initially had the system spontaneous rebooting; later attempts finished that step properly. That alone points not to the image, but to the hardware. The Live install--reformatting but not repartitioning the storage--completed successfully. So, again, I don't think it was the Debian image.
