I discovered a workaround. sudo works correctly the first time (and the first time only) after boot. Therefore, you can do sudo passwd to set the root password, and use su thereafter. This is not the "ubuntu way", however, so discretionary use is of course implicit.

The fact that sudo would work the first time but not thereafter seems to indicate that it is specifically a sudo bug, and perhaps not an installer one. Thoughts?
