Found the problem.  I am refraining from going on a rant.  I'll explain what I found and then look for a way to ask for an enhancement to be made to the installation.

I was trying to be slick with the new ASP.NET 2.0 Membership stuff and set requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true".  This was my demise.  After many re-installs trying all sorts of stuff, I finally downloaded the source and walked through the code to see what was failing.  The DNN code does not support requiring a question and answer.  Right there in the code on line 125 of AspNetMembershipProvider.vb, the call to AspNetSecurity.Membership.CreateUser passes "Nothing" and "Nothing" to the question and answer parameters.

The part I'd like to see changed is the fact that the creation of the superuser failed (because of my setting in the web.config) file, BUT, there was no indication in the log files or in the logic that follows.  The creation of the SuperUser account failing seems severe enough to me that the installation should abort or -- at a minimum -- report it to the user via the logging appearing in the browser.

I changed requiresQuestionAndAnswer to false and my installation completed happily....5 hours later.
