This bug is still present in the Beta 2 installer, even after running "update this installer".

The exact circumstances are using "Erase and use the entire disk" when the disk has no partition layout. If "Erase and use the entire disk" is selected when the disk already has partitions, then the correct breakdown of actions is displayed.

This is very much an edge case, since it's rare to install on a completely blank disk, EXCEPT in the case of Virtual machines for testing purposes (how I found it). This also probably explains why Erick was unable to reproduce the bug - once his disk had a partition table, the bug no longer appeared.
