Thanks, Arnaud, squishing down max_connections before attempting to install did the trick! I took the conf.d route and put a .cnf file in /etc/mysql/conf.d that contained two lines:

[mysqld]
max_connections = 20

Installing MySQL was the first thing I did on the first login to a new EC2 micro instance, so I definitely find it interesting that there are 512MB environments where the default MySQL 5.6 installation sails through and 512MB environments (AWS EC2!) where it crashes and burns. Obviously something is different. (I have lots of Windows experience, but I'm a Linux newbie. So I haven't a clue....)
