I can't confirm it because I haven't the las version to test it, but from the 'Traceback.txt' I can see the problem is there is not any 'ubiquity.emap' module.

This module seems to be removed at revision 3286 (on merge from lp:~cjwatson/ubiquity/remove-tzmap). The thing is the module is been still imported. This should be fixed by taking off the import. I attatch the patch.

I tried something similar last night, commenting out that line does make the installer start. Then later it fails and in the debug information I found it complaining that /target/home didn't exist. As it was 3am at the time I stopped digging. Regardless your patch should do the trick for this one.
