Here is the workaround I employed:
1. Open the Disks app to determine which partition is the EFI partition. It will be labeled "EFI System" under "Partition type."
1. Instead of selecting "reinstall" and getting an error, select "something else" to get manual partitioning.
2. Make sure the partition that previously had Ubuntu on it is used, will be mounted at /, and will not be formatted.
3. Select that partition, click the "Change..." button and set "Use as" to "EFI System Partition" in the dialog box that pops up.
4. Click "Install Now." There should not be any error about the EFI partition not being found.
