After closing the dialog and installer I just noticed the /target partition is full. Maybe the import of a user account from Windows XP on another partition filled the target partition.

Thanks for your report.

Migration assistant imported a lot of stuff from Windows. Even if the migration not completely succeeded that's probably what filled the partition.

migration assistant should calculate the size of the files to import and do not proceed if there is not enough space to install the OS. This was reported in bug 370180
