 Well, actually 5.3 will (probably) be first "-STABLE" from the 5.X
 series, see the 5-ROADMAP article for more information.

 This also happens for me with the "official" 5.2-BETA image.
 
 Mine died at a different place in the extraction process, but the
 traceback seems to be the same.
 
 I just tried an install where I didn't enable softupdates on the root
 partition, it didn't panic but during the install it did give an locking
 warning/error.  I will try to get a serial console on it to capture the
 exact error.
