Testing the current Lubuntu Noble iso file (dated Dec 8) in a Toshiba Satellite Pro C850-19W with a generation 3 Intel i5 CPU in BIOS mode (alias CSM alias legacy mode), Swedish, using the whole drive. The drive was previously used with a GUID partition table, GPT, in BIOS mode and Lubuntu Jammy installed successfully. Calamares finished with an error message (in Swedish but translated: The boot handler could not be installed ... so matching the original message in the bug description:
The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command <pre>grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --force /dev/sda</pre> returned error code 1.
So installing in BIOS mode into this computer fails in BIOS mode. It is old (bought 2013) but newer than the c2d machine where the bug was found (and I installed into it in UEFI mode recently.
