Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it seems that there is a problem with your installation media (CD/DVD). You can verify the integrity of the Ubuntu ISO files you downloaded by following the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM. You might also retry your installation with new media and if that still fails I'd recommend testing your CD drive with other media. In the event that is is not in fact an error with your installation media or hardware please set the bug's status back to New. Thanks and good luck!

No, that's not it because I've successfully installed using this medium both before and after running into this problem. It's quite consistent in that it occurs right after I finish with the encrypted btrfs partitioning.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We noticed that you were installing the LTS version of Ubuntu using an older version of the installation media. The latest point release of 12.04 is 12.04.4. Please try installing from that version of the installation media and see if that resolves your issue. Thanks in advance!

No, Bug Bot, this wasn't 12.04, this is 14.04. Refiling as New...again.

What the heck? I'm getting spammed. Setting to New again. I'll give up if the bot strikes a third time.
