I just bought a wiped MacBook Air. After the recovery process begins I select Untitled internal Disk to upload OS. Once it goes all the way through the 15 minute reboot it leaves me with the above message every time. “Could not create a preboot volume for APFS install”
Erase the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and try the install.

It's our New & improved, longer, lower, wider... APFS. HFS+ Journaled should cure it, as mentioned.
Getting a “could not create a preboot volume for APFS install” message.
