New description:

 Re-opened to discuss the UI issue in the code editor. Was:

 ----

 When WP lacks permission to generate wp-config.php during install, the
 textarea does not display the closing tag (?>) for a PHP file, despite the
 opening tag (<?php) appearing at the top.

 I do not know what will happen if one does not manually add the closing
 tag. I suspect a PHP error will occur, but I did not test that.
 This was tested with the nightly build, downloaded 14 hours ago.
