I can confirm this bug. tried to install a Kubuntu 13.04 64-bit version (checksum OK) on a brand new Think Pad T430s and ended up with

ubi-console-setup crashed -> ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 141. Further information may be found in /var/log/syslog. Do you want to try running this step again before continuing? If you do not, your installation may fail entirely or may be broken. -> Buttons: Retry Ignore Close

Retry don't change anything. So, press ignore and go ahead... Until "Installer Crashed" during "Tastatur wird eingerichtet" with a totally useless "Please file a new bug report using the command 'ubuntu-bug ubiquity' in a terminal.....

My little side note: What are all the Canonical marketing $ dollars worth, if the product breaks in the very beginning during installation and a normal user is left alone in the desert? Is this the way to attract more new Users?
