Although I haven't looked at any debugging/traceback information, I can confirm that this behavior occurs, across multiple Kubuntu-based distros. For example, not only does it happen with Kubuntu 12.04, it also happens with Mint 13 "KDE" and Netrunner 4 "Dryland" 2nd Ed, which are also based on Kubuntu 12.04.

I have over 10 existing partitions on my hard drive. When I run the Kubuntu installer, I'm lucky if I can tell the installer which partitions to mount for root, swap, and maybe one to three others before the installer just quits. I usually end up having to add the other partitions to /etc/fstab manually post-installation.

Curiously, this has never happened while installing an Ubuntu-based, as opposed to Kubuntu-based, distro (i.e. using ubiquity with the GTK UI).
