As you say, that won't survive a reboot - but your workaround in #172 might be a good thing to add between steps 2 (zeroing the drive) and 3 (starting the installer) of the Karmic installation procedure in #147. Simply starting up the partitioner during installation will trigger the bug and trash some SSDs - like the original factory SSD in my Asus Eee 701 8G
