The assert is deliberate. try/except around an assert would be amazingly pointless. :-)
Could you try this with ubiquity 1.0.13, which I recently uploaded to dapper-updates? (Also make sure to upgrade any other ubiquity-* packages you have installed.) Although I haven't changed this assert there - and I'm quite reluctant to weaken that particular assertion - the failure after your proposed weakening of the assertion should be a lot less spectacular.
