This is odd; I can't see from the code why this would be happening. Could you start the installer with 'ubiquity --debug' from a Konsole window, reproduce this problem, and attach /var/log/installer/debug, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/partman to this bug, following the directions in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs? Thanks in advance.

#this occurred after selecting manual partitioning on a Kubuntu Feisty Beta install. -Michael

Thanks for that. This is also bug 95400, which I'll fix shortly.
