Thanks to some instruction from Colin Watson, I understand this better now.
Ubiquity diverts update-initramfs during installation so that it's not run many times, and then restores it at the end. Having the symlink wrong is a symptom that something failed in an indeterminate way. If the system is one which can easily be re-installed from barer metal, that is your best choice. If you want to attempt recovery, the next step is to try to figure out what failed, and the starting point for doing that it to examine the /var/log/installer/syslog file. If you can't do a fresh install, please attach the file and we'll go from there. This is apparently not a kernel problem, so there's nothing to be gained from further bisection of the kernel.
