I experimented some more with this last night by reloading the ramzswap module with different disksize_kb settings. I tried 25%, 10%, and even turning it off completely.
50% - install fails, error message at the end saying the install was unable to complete
25% - install fails, dumped out to a blank X screen at the end
10% - install fails, dumped out to a blank X screen at the end
0% (remove ramzswap and xvmalloc) - install succeeds, but there is a failed page_alloc towards the beginning (possibly around partition/mkfs time)

So with no compcache, it seems like we have our best chance of getting all the way through the install, however I was going with the default partitioning scheme in each of these tests. So it remains to be seen whether changing the partitioning would work as well.

In light of this, it seems like our best bet may be to just disable compcache entirely, unless a better solution can be found.
