I'm surprised that there has been no answer to your question so far,  
so I'll jump in with my 2¢.

I would argue strenuously against downgrading your system software  
simply to accommodate i-Installer. I looked in the macostex-archives  
and came tentatively to the conclusion that this problem was fixed.
