cannot enter personal information on ubiquity's "Who are you" screen

[Carla Sella]

During install of Raring image: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130211/raring-desktop-armhf+omap4.img on a Pandaboard, after having made ubiquity detect my keyboard and after getting to the "Who are you?" screen I am unable to enter my personal data, keyboard seems blocked and even if I am able to select various fields with the mouse, when I type something in, nothing happens.
This has already occured also in previous images, but did not report it as it doesn't always happen.
This time I:
- Booted the Pandaboard from SD Card
- Selected Italian language
- On the "Preparing to install Ubuntu" clicked on next even if I wasn't connected to the wireless network so in the next screen I connected to my wireless network
- On the 'Installation type' screen I selected the 'Erase disk and install Ubuntu' radio button
- On the 'timezone' window I selectec another timezone and then entered 'Rome" in the input field
- On the 'Keyboard Layout' screen I selected another keyboard (anyone but Italian) then I selected detect keyboard, answered the questions and my Italian keyboard got correclty detected
- Pressed next and on the "Who are you?" screen could not enter my info as stated above.

I waited quite a while, like a quarter of an hour, but the installation did not seem to carryon an had to abort it.

When I rebooted and started installation all over again selecting the exact same things as above I could enter my personal info on the "Who are you?" screen and continue with installation.

i've had it happen intermittently in amd64, i don't understand the bug but restarting normally fixes it.

It has happened again with http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130223.1/raring-desktop-armhf+omap4.img.

The weired thing is that I am not able to enter my personal data and looks like keyboard is not working, but if I press CTRL+ALT+F1 I go to terminal and I can write.

Does this require booting on ARM / using a non-english locale? I haven't yet seen this occur. We need to get this confirmed if we can track it down properly.
