I assume --noreboot only has an effect when you have virt-install
connect to the console. After testing this a bit more, the issue I'm
seeing only happens when I use --noautoconsole.

In that case, virt-install exits after booting the guest into the
installer. If I connect to the console myself and watch the
installation, I see it get to the point where it reboots (the last
message I see is the kernel printing "[ 1848.810639] Restarting
system."), but the guest ends up powered off.
