Real hardware.

This I could not do: Ctrl-Alt-2 doesn't do anything, but I imagine you
meant Ctrl-Alt-f2? That takes me to the manual.
However, once the installer reloads, I can hit Ctrl-Alt-f3 and Enter to
get to a prompt.
There is no /tmp/last-installer-error file :-(
I did check /var/log/debug. There I can trace the configuration
process.
After "running form #<newt-form b7d4c0> ("Configuration file") with 0
clients" I get:
…Service cow-store has been started.
…Service cow-store has been stopped.
…Service guix-daemon has been stopped.
…Service guix-daemon has been started.
…Umounted /remove successfully.
…unmounting "/mnt"
…closing LUKS entry "cryptroot"
…running step 'locale'
The last presumably is the installer restarting.
Hth,
Alex
