 Since this issue does not appear to have been fixed and there has been no
 activity for ~6 months, here was at least a related issue that I had:

 {{{
 $ ls -l /
 ...
 dr-xr-xr-x   2 root  wheel         1 Aug 14 17:15 net
 lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  admin        11 Aug 15 20:48 opt -> /private/opt
 drwxr-xr-x@  7 root  wheel       238 Aug 15 20:47 private
 drwxr-xr-x@ 66 root  wheel      2244 May 28 17:49 sbin
 lrwxr-xr-x@  1 root  admin        11 Apr 25 14:45 tmp -> private/tmp
 drwxr-xr-x@ 13 root  wheel       442 Aug 14 22:40 usr
 lrwxr-xr-x@  1 root  admin        11 Apr 25 14:45 var -> private/var


 $ ls -l /private
 drwxr-xr-x  86 root  wheel  2924 Aug 15 20:23 etc
 drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel    68 Sep 24  2007 tftpboot
 drwxr-xr-x  25 root  wheel   850 Apr 25 14:45 var
 }}}

 Since /opt is present, but the link target /private/opt does not exist,
 the mkdir /opt/* in the preflight script fails.
 A simple {{{sudo mkdir /private/opt}}} will fix the issue.
