It seems I forgot to run
apt-get install ia32-libs
Obviously the installer is giving the wrong error message when it fails. With 32-bit support fully enabled, I am able to install the 32-bit version.
Install a JDK/JRE and retry the installation

on Ubuntu 14.04, I was able to get it to work by simply running:
sudo apt-get install default-jre
If you're running 64 bit Ubuntu and would like to install the 32 bit JIRA, this works:
sudo bash dpkg --add-architecture i386 apt-get update apt-get install default-jre:i386

Also make sure you have Oracle's Java Installed:
The Oracle JDK is the official JDK; however, it is no longer provided by Oracle as a default installation for Ubuntu.
You can still install it using apt-get. To install any version, first execute the following commands:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
If you're on Ubuntu, for example, then you need to make sure you have Oracle's Java installed with the above commands. It took me a couple hours then I figured this out. Hopefully you figure it out!

As the answer says, the problem was a 32-bit vs 64-bit mismatch. It was not obvious that this was the case from the error message, which is why it took a little while to figure out.

This is driving me mad and I have had incredibly little support from Atlassian.
As Debian no longer include an Oracle version of the JDK in the repo's you have to grab a tarball from Oracle. Good luck with that, java-package and make-jpkg have not got me far in making a debian package to install with any success. I really have persevered but I expected WAY more from Atlassian to be honest.

The installer is bundled with a JRE, so obviously that wouldn't help. But I tried it anyway just after I posted my question and of course it didn't work. I forgot to mention that I verified the MD5 sum. Is this installer dependent upon a particular unix shell? I think I only have Bash installed right now.
