(Get the code!)
ubiquity doesn't handle the grub+xfs thing at all, it just crashes.
I booted the i386 live DVD on a laptop, and shrunk the windows partition, then used the install menu item. I don't think I did anything to confuse ubiquity, but I hadn't used it before. (I'm used to installing Debian with the debian-installer menu interface, but I wanted to try this install thing in the menu...)
Anyway, I made / and /home XFS, and I didn't use a /boot. Ubiquity died right at the end, with no warning that I could have a GRUB+XFS problem. (At least I don't think it warned. Maybe it did, but it wasn't very emphatic about it, so it sounded like it wouldn't hurt to try.) In any case it shouldn't crash, it should recognize that grub failed.
I saved the error logs and stuff, so I can create a new bug # if you want. I thought there looked like plenty of bugs open already about the installer crashing.
