Getting closer to the problem. It seems that the installer will call _install_settings_form_validate() twice. The first time with empty parameters, which causes the error message, the second time with parameters, which works fine. Is this down to the new Form API, perhaps? But that's still confusing, because you said it works out of the box for you... In the end, I managed by adding a "if (!$db_prefix) return;" hack to the validate function (and by manually creating the settings.php file, but that's a different thing and might be caused by the debug output I made).

Mh. Well, no function error now, but it seems to ignore the mysql host field and tries (unsuccessfully of course) to connect through a local socket. So I don't get past the installer. Huh...
