I can't find the installer dump on dump.guix.gnu.org unfortunately
:(. Can you look into directories like /tmp/dump.XXXXX? There should be
a .tar.gz somewhere of the dump.

Things that drop you back to selecting locale seem like the whole
installer crashing rather than just the resume option working. In
general, we have some issues with handling `guix system init` problems
in the installer.

Best,
