Well, in the process of taking that extra screenshot I have uncovered what appears to be the bug. When I went to take that screenshot quickly I had launched the 1Password 8 installer again while 1Password 7 was still running. When I clicked on the "Move Data to Account" it presented an additional window asking which of my vaults I want to move the data to:
(My vaults obfuscated for privacy but this is the dialog.)
If I quit the installer and 1Password 7 and launch the 1Password 8 installer alone, this dialog is never presented. I can repeat this behavior.
I don't think most more techie folks like myself would normally run an installer for an existing application upgrade while the existing program is running, nor do I suspect this is really the intended behavior of the installer. But for whatever reason it unveiled the issue of the installer not presenting this window properly on its own.
How does one file a bug report on the installer itself? Or can I entrust the moderators here to relay this issue to the development team? I'd appreciate a response as I will await to move forward with the install so as not to lose any potential debugging information/opportunity.
