Basically, things that can't be fixed with updates are the prime
candidates for blocker/FE status. So, installer bugs, bugs that are
visible when booted live, and kernel/X/etc. showstoppers which would
prevent you getting an install done.

Issues that are apparent only after install *can* be blocker/FE bugs,
but there's a higher bar for it.

You *can* log out / log in on the live image, but it's not something
that's very commonly used, I don't think.

A default netinstall would, yes - by default network installs use the
updates repository as a package source. You can disable it, but that
takes effort.

Immediately after installing from the live image the bug would be
present, but it'd be solved on the first update.
