It was bare hardware, looks like a nightmare I know:

I had just completed an entire disc install on /dev/sdb followed by an auto-resize on /dev/sdb, then I was performing a manual install on /dev/sda17 when this error popped up. No problem with the earlier image but based on those earlier bug reports this may be one of those pesky intermittent bugs that's hard to reproduce.

Title:
  Ubiquity crashed while installing Lubuntu Precise

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm testing the Lubuntu live i386 20111129.1 iso-testing image and
  while performing a manual partitioning install the installer crashed.
  I'll post a photo later in case it may be helpful.

  This may be a duplicate of either bug 892665 or 897445 but I wanted to
  let apport collect info.

  I'd had no problem with the 20111129 image, and I'd also had no
  problem with entire disc or auto-resize installs using this same
  20111129.1 image.
