quickemu bug: macOS Monterey won't boot after installation

Expected behaviour

I would expect the MacOS instance to boot into some sort of desktop environment/greeter.

Actual behaviour

Boot process gets stuck in a loop as per the screenshot

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Create new macos-monterey instance
Boot into it
Wipe the drive and format as MacOS Extended (journaled)
Run the installer
Reboot and continue the installer
Set the startup disc appropriately
Reboot, select the right disc (or wait to start automatically)
Hey presto, it gets stuck in a loop
