Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 This can also be reproduced in regular installation:

 1. Create a `wp-config.php` without the key/salt constants filled in.
 2. Open `/wp-admin/install.php`.
 3. At the bottom of that page, there is a `wp_print_scripts()` call.
 4. `wp_default_scripts()` calls `wp_create_nonce()`.
 5. `wp_create_nonce()` calls `wp_hash()`.
 6. `wp_hash()` calls `wp_salt()`.
 7. `wp_salt()` tries to save the key/salt values in the database and
 fails, as the table does not exist yet.
