This must be grub-efi-bootloader and used with targets '("/boot/efi").
target instead of targets is deprecated and is not part of the 1.4.0
installer examples in /etc/configuration/.

If you wanted a legacy BIOS install with grub-bootloader (because
managing out-of-memory EFI variables is a pain), you would be using
(targets '("/dev/sdf")), but you likely do not, you want modern
grub-efi-bootloader,

But why does the graphical installer fail?  Is this perhaps a version
older than 1.4.0?
