This doesn't seem to be reproducible with anything but jfs. Given that the errors following the partitioning appear almost random (but here, most often than not I get a failure installing linux-firmware, rather than making it to grub-install... and running the same command again after succeeds); I think we're hitting a kernel issue or some problem with the jfs filesystem driver.
The errors appear to always be some kind of I/O error. I've been doing this on a virtual machine, so I know the disk I've created is good (and the underlying host doesn't have errors).
