I've fixed this for the first Dapper point release. An upload to Edgy will come soon as well, upon which I'll close this bug.
ubiquity (1.0.13) dapper-updates; urgency=low
* Don't require entering a full name (see http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/os-install-experiences-part-4-ubuntu).
* GTK frontend:
- Return None from location_from_point if point is None (thanks to Chris
Moore for the idea; closes: Malone #48885).
* KDE frontend:
- Add slightly more paranoia in case getNearestCity returns None.
* Don't show hw-detect/modprobe_error, and make it non-fatal (closes:
Malone #48524).
* Make it clear in the crash dialog that you should file a new bug, not
attach your details to an existing bug.
* Take a copy of the supplied choice map in set_keyboard_choices.
* Save tracebacks from install.py and slurp them back into the traceback
displayed if install.py exits non-zero.
* Warn in the partitioner if you try to use XFS for /boot (closes: Malone
#47848).
* Warn in the partitioner if system filesystems are not reformatted
(closes: Malone #47046).
* Use os._exit() rather than sys.exit() in the apt install progress child
process after forking, fixing a lot of strange "PROGRESS STOP" messages
in /var/log/installer/syslog and bizarre debconf exceptions. See also
Malone #53298.
* Use 'replace' Unicode error handling when dealing with data coming from
debconf (closes: Malone #44595, #48732).
* Fix ubiquity/install/apt_error_install and
ubiquity/install/apt_error_remove templates to be of type 'error'
(closes: Malone #53258).
* Install more defence against gparted/qtparted crashing (closes: Malone
#47194, #48856).
* If gparted or qtparted crashes, put up a dialog allowing the user to try
again, return to autopartitioning, or quit the installer. This is a
pretty awful hack, but hopefully we won't be using gparted/qtparted for
all that much longer ...
* Fix crash in KDE frontend while translating widgets (closes: Malone
#53367).
* When an error occurs with the install progress bar up, only return to
autopartitioning if the partitioner is still running.
* Turn DebconfInstallProgress upside-down so that the main process handles
apt installation and the subprocess handles the translation of apt
status messages into debconf protocol messages, rather than the other
way round. The previous approach resulted in exceptions from apt ending
up in the wrong process.
* Silence apt errors while installing language packs, since we ignore them
anyway.
* Point apt at /target/var/lib/dpkg/status rather than
/var/lib/dpkg/status (closes: Malone #47859).
* Display grub-installer/install_to_xfs question if it's asked.
* Fix get_filesystems() not to assume ext3 in quite so many situations.
* Detect XFS for validation purposes even when it wasn't just formatted by
gparted/qtparted (closes: Malone #53642).
* Fix all mentions of gparted in the KDE frontend.
* Leave existing newworld boot partitions alone when committing manual
partitioning changes.
* Always set mirror/country to the country selected on the timezone page,
regardless of what localechooser does thereafter (closes: Malone
#40107).
* Automatic update of included source packages: localechooser
0.27ubuntu23, user-setup 1.1ubuntu4.
