Shortly after grub boots into the installer, I briefly see a blue screen, then black, then blue, then black, etc. I can switch to a virtual console and proceed with the installation that way. Perhaps, we should try to start the graphical installer only 5 times. If it fails, then just produce an error message and suggest the user switch to another virtual console and try the manual install.

Joshua, do you know what graphics card this MacBook has?
In the past, Mathieu, Florian, and others looked at similar issues on
