The problem is in the udev rules in the installer:

/lib/udev/rules.d/63-md-raid-array.rules
/lib/udev/rules.d/64-md-raid-assembly.rules

There is a wrong path to mdadm which contains "BINDIR" instead of "/sbin". The same rule files in the installed system are fine.

There is a workaround to the problem:

1. Wait for installer "Configure network" screen.

2. Switch to other console.

sed -i 's/BINDIR/\/sbin/g' /lib/udev/rules.d/*-md-*
udevadm control --reload

3. Continue the installation.
