Ubiquity partitioner change reformats inadvertently

Binary package hint: ubiquity

btrfs filesystem becomes ext4 during install !?
During the installation of Ubuntu 10.04 the partitioner was wrongfully configured to see two functioning btrfs partitions as ext4 (without reformatting them though). Thus the installation process got stuck at 5%.

Installer was run again ignoring the btrfs partition.

btrfs-tools was added to the new 10.04, but the btrfs partitions are now recognized as ext4 with lost+found folder on it.

I'm curious to understand how theses two btrfs partitions became ext4 after Ubiquity was ran when it never was specified they should be formatted. This reformatting taking place seems like a bug. These btrfs partions should have been left unaltered. This can also be of interest to the btrfs development team

No one has picked up on this. I think this is a real issue and should also concern the BTRFS development team.

Six months and this bug report is still being ignored!
