ubiquity crashed with AssertionError in copy_all()

Binary package hint: ubiquity

When installing lucid (daily, 27/01/10) using a usb stick, ubiquity crashes at the copy files stage. The usb stick install was created using Startup Disk Creator of a karmic live cd. The root partition of the new install was set not to reformat as it was newly created (and empty) anyway.

If I ask ubuiquity to reformat the drive, it seems to work... I'm not quite sure what's going on there.
