Bug Description

I'm following the instructions at: https://mutschler.dev/linux/ubuntu-btrfs-20-04/#create-filesystems-for-root-and-efi-system-partitions.
All goes well until I attempt to work with the installer ("ubiquity --no-bootloader" command).
I can select language (English), keyboard (English) and TZ.
When I begin to fill out my user and machine information, ubiquity crashes.
In looking at the crash report, it seems casper is seeing some invalid stdin input.
I've double-checked the editing of /usr/lib/partman/mount.d/70btrfs and /usr/lib/partman/fstab.d/btrfs and all looks good. The only change I made was to not use the "noatime" parameter in the above edits.

I'm using Ubuntu desktop 22.04.4 from a USB stick to attempt the installation.
