The GUI has changed a bit, but this issue is still present in Natty (beta 2). I tested it in a VM which was only connected to the internal network, not the Internet.

With network disabled here, the "Download updates while installing" checkbox is disabled.
Enabling network again re-enables the checkbox without needing to restart ubiquity.

Marking this one fix released.

My guess is that this fixed it:
ubiquity (2.7.33) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Move watching Internet connectivity to the frontends themselves,
    which then ask each plugin to act accordingly (LP: #854706).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
