Maybe installer could configure users from inside the chroot?
When running void-installer, once you get to the Installation Source step (pictured below), if you choose Network the resulting install will not change the root's password and will not create the user specified in "UserAccount" (also pictured below).
Here's the bug in action:
I think it might be time to update the live image. I got bit reinstalling Void, and I don't think new users should have to chroot in to fix their freshly installed system.

Have you checked if this is working correctly for a freshly baked ISO?

Yes, with a brand new iso it works as expected.
Which ISOs have you tested? They are in the testing phase for now.
What do you mean? I just made a new iso myself.

e: However, I DID have to manually install dialog.
Yes, listed in https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/live/20201224/
They aren't all tested, though.
The error message for this during installation https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/l2nwhk/error_during_installation_it_wont_create_an_user/
chpasswd: PAM: Module is unknown
configuration error - unknown item 'HOME_MODE' (notify administrator)
Likely caused by some mismatch with host PAM being older than the chroot PAM.
I'm repurposing this issue to allow this to work in the long term, instead of requiring new images for weird breaking changes like these. If user configuration happens from inside the chroot, there won't be any version mismatch.
