This is known.

This isn't particularly surprising, as no-one wants to maintain it any
more.
Fine, since there is no other way to get a "display" entry in the
"Administration" menu, does that mean if the system makes totally inappropriate
choices on video I should go to another distribution, or is there some secret
way (ie. not available on the admin menu) to get a reasonable display setting?
And while I'm at it, why can the installer use a reasonable video mode but the
OS boot doesn't? Your typical user isn't going to boot in single user, create an
Xorg.conf file, and edit it to sanity with vi.
