Bug Description
I decided to try a fresh install over a running that was a bit sluggish, but otherwise fully operational. I selected a UEFI and the only other option I selected was to use only part of the drive (128G SSD). I expected to use a swap file, but the installer insisted on using a swap partition that previously existed on a second drive (2G HDD) that was used for a different OS on that drive. So, I also selected a swap partition on on the SSD.

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted the installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.
