The difference is probably that the others are installing ubunto to the
"primary" disk,
while me (and original bug-reporter) are trying to keep the original macosx-disk
as is,
and install ubunto to a second disk.

Originally I removed the connectors to the primary disk, and tried installing to the
second disk => failure.

Then I kept both disks connected, installing ubunto to the second disk => failure.

Then today I moved the second disk to the position/connectors of the primary disks,
and installed ubunto on it. That worked!
