Thanks. This is same bug as bug 894768. I'm marking as duplicate. The
interesting part is that it happens with VMWare this time which is new.
I'll comment on the master report.

Title:
  Installer crashed while copying files in Xubuntu

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Opening a new bug because this happened on Xubuntu using the 2nd
  respin disk of the day (20111129.2)

  I just pulled down the new respin xubuntu 32bit iso.  I'm installing
  to a 32bit VM on a 64bit Host with VMWare as the virtualization
  service.

  The first install attempt was entirely successful.  The second was a failure, ending in a random installer crash and apport firing.  
  Earlier today when I tried this with Ubuntu 32bit on the same VM, it occurred 2/2 times.  so far for Xubuntu, it's 1/2 times.

  The only difference between the successful attempt and the
  unsuccessful attempt is that the successful install was a full-disk
  install while the failed attempt is a side-by-side install.
