It's not clear to me that it will. Casper doesn't touch the squashfs that ends up on the installed system, it simply creates a user in the overlay filesystem. If this does end up changing the installer behavior, that's an installer bug; it should only care about what is actually in the squashfs.

(If there's another use case I'm failing to consider, let me know.)
