The best/fastest way to fix this is update the pkgbuild for
archlinux-installer and do a little patch.
It looks to me that this line:
awk "BEGIN { printf(\"# Mirror used during installation\nServer =
"${SYNC_URL}"\n\n\") } 1 " "${DESTDIR}/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist"
> /tmp/inst-mirrorlist

Should become

awk "BEGIN { printf(\"# Mirror used during installation\nServer =
"${SYNC_URL/core/\$repo}"\n\n\") } 1 "
"${DESTDIR}/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist"
> /tmp/inst-mirrorlist
