I have been able to get oem-config to work properly on my vm install, but it isn't pretty. After pressing F4 and running through the install and rebooting, the system logs in as oem user. From there, I reinstalled oem-config-gtk (and all of it's dependencies), then ran 'sudo touch /var/lib/oem-config/run' and rebooted. With this, I was able to successfully get through oem-config and now have a properly installed system.
