Hi Joseph,

> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/
I can confirm the issue is still present with:

    trusty-server-i386.iso
    09-Nov-2013 06:52 668M
    Server install image for PC (Intel x86) computers

Oddly, the first two screens (CD-Language and Install) do accept input
with USB mouse/keyboard. Its the third screen (Install-Language)
that's causing the troubles.

If it matters, I'm burning the image to a DVD. I'm not booting from a
thumb drive.
