The installer will create an installation that can not install GRUB. The problem is that /boot without user interaction unmounted.

How the error occurs.

Start the installation and run until it is time to deal with hard drive are. Select this manually. Create three RAID containers per hard disk. Enable and configure RAID. Create containers for encryption and one partiton for /boot. Do you find yourself in state as shown in picture 1.

After configuration and activation of the encrypted disks, you must have the state in picture 2. Are you now satisfied with just having RAID and encryption, and configure the system for it, you'll get an error message that /boot is on an encrypted partiton, no major problems here.

We continue to create an LVM on md1_crypt. When you are done you should be in the state as picture 3 shows.

Once configured LVM with / and /home, you should now be in the state as shown in picture 4. Do you now continue the installation you will get no warnings.

The installation perish now "normal" and fails only when GRUB will be installed, which shows in picture 5 to 7.

Good luck with the bug hunting

Looking at the attachments in this bug report, I noticed that "The pictures." was flagged as a patch. A patch contains changes to an Ubuntu package that will resolve a bug, since this was not one I've unchecked the patch flag for it. In the future keep in mind the definition of a patch. You can learn more about what qualifies as a patch at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Patches. Thanks!
