I ended up here while working on verification of the fix for bug #947107.
Since there is no clearly written test-case I've drawn some of my own conclusions:
(1) Any use of apt, certainly installation or upgrade of any packages, but also something as mundane as running "apt-cache policy <any package name>" prior to installation would cause ubiquity to crash with either the Precise 20140123 or 20140124 images.
(2) I can not reproduce that crash using the 20140125 image no matter how hard I try.
So I think I could mark this "verification-done" but there are so many duplicates I'd like to get some feed-back from Dimitri to be sure I'm not overlooking something.
