Sorry for the extremely late response. It may well be that your problem has been fixed in more recent versions of Ubuntu; the version released with 6.06 was the first version of the new installer, and we've put a very great deal of work into it since then.

In any case, if you can still reproduce this bug, could you please attach /var/log/installer/syslog, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/partman to this bug, following the directions in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs? Thanks in advance.
