Yes, it was. I believe that the detected value is ignored because of
auto_answer db_input "$(priority_ceil medium)"
xserver-xfree86/autodetect_video_card "false"
(the problem originally occurred during an initial install, but I was
able to reproduce it by reinstalling with DEBIAN_PRIORITY set to
high).
