I tried to reproduce the failure Ryan described (malformed sources file), but couldn't.

On handling an install failure (subiquity crash): I think that failing in a clear way is better than retrying in an unclear way. Testing the retry-after-failure path is quite difficult as real world failure modes are unexpected, by definition we could say. IMHO on a crash it could make sense for subiquity to allow the user to:

 - submit logs
 - jump to a shell to inspect the failure
 - reboot the system

without allowing the user to retry the install without rebooting.
