(Get the code!)
I think I read somewhere, that manually invoking the failed command allows the user to proceed. In the case of the original problem report this would be the following command:
wipefs -a /dev/sdb1
Make sure you pass the correct partition to this command, or you will lose data on whatever device you wiped instead!!! The correct device is the first partition on whatever device is supposed to become a bootable device, usually the device reported in the error message. You need to invoke it with sudo if you aren't already root.
The work around worked for me at least. Since the underlying problem appears to be a race condition, a few retries may help here it it doesn't work right away. And yes, the bug is present in Ubuntu 15.10, too :(
