The install and upgrade scripts are both Bourne shell scripts that use the same underlying shell script functions. So, while it's possible a fresh install would work, it's also possible it won't. The root cause has not been determined.
You may be able to watch the script run, with # sh -x upgrade but I've never done this myself, as I haven't had this sort of issue. The rescue kernel has many reduced-function tools to save real estate, and I don't know if the shell has had any function reductions.
I'd report the problem, as recommended earlier.

Reason: clarity, possible debug with -x
