So, it would seem, zram based swap is less forgiving than disk based swap.

It's not "less forgiving", it's just smaller. The log shows you're out of memory and out of swap space. If you absolutely need to install on a system with so little memory, configure a disk-based swap of appropriate size to compensate for low available memory. Or you can also try to use a netinst image which has lower memory requirements than a Live desktop image.
