This also/still affects Hardy, but there is a work-around.
First, once the Live CD has started, open a terminal and run:
sudo su sed -i 's,^\( *grep -v '^/dev/md' |\),#\1,' /lib/partman/init.d/30parted | grep '/dev/md'
This will allow Ubiquity's partman to report /dev/md* devices by commenting out the script statement that ignores them.
Next, manually install a file-system to the md device. E.g:
sudo mkfs.ext3 -L boot /dev/md0
Now when Ubiquity's partman runs in manual mode you'll see something like this in the partition list:
/dev/md0 /dev/md0 ext3 256 MB 14 MB
Select the indented /dev/md0, press the "Edit partition" button, set the file-system type to ext3, tick the Format check-box, and set the mount-point.
Ubiquity/partman will now successfully format and install to /dev/md0 when the install is started.
