Installer doesn't support an encrypted LVM install alongside Windows, so I do the encrypted LVM for it; it crashes when I click on the /dev/mapper/${LUKS_name}

Bug Description

1)
Description: Ubuntu 17.10
Release: 17.10

2)
ubiquity:
  Installed: 17.10.10
  Candidate: 17.10.10
  Version table:
 *** 17.10.10 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) Choose to install an encrypted volume for installation. I should be given a wrapper to cryptsetup luksFormat, then be able to configure an LVM, choose /boot from another manually made partition, choose / on the LVM, then install.

4) Choosing a partition to become an encrypted volume causes nothing to happen. Nor does clicking "Install". Trying to click a manually made LUKS volume in partman causes the installer to crash with this message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/kde_components/PartMan.py", line 416, in on_partition_list_treeview_activated
    self.ctrlr.dbfilter.create_label(devpart)
  File "/usr/lib/ubiquity/plugins/ubi-partman.py", line 3272, in create_label
    assert self.current_question == 'partman/choose_partition'
AssertionError

Also managed to make one install (forgotten the exact installation details, except it was also on a encrypted LVM), but it was not bootable, and went into initramfs shell. GRUB didn't have any crypto options supplied.

lsblk output:
