I think I'm making progress. I don't know if
I've encountered an
emulator issue, or if the primos_22.1.4_1of3.tap tape image from
Bitsavers is bad. I didn't encounter any errors unzipping the zip
archive it was in. When restoring logical tape number 2 from it, I
got an MT read error:
I was able to reproduce the issue. When I repacked these using the
Rev. 22 MAGSAV, the install worked correctly. Here's the repacked tape
set:

Since the emulator doesn't support limiting the size of a tape, I don't
have a way to produce these things spanned across virtual reels. That
means you'll have to adjust the instructions a little. You need to read
the saves in this order:
BT
U1
U2
V1
IC
You won't have a "next reel" prompt in the middle. Each restore will be
logical tape 1.
