I got the same behavior with Kubuntu 22.04's final ISO.

Title:
Incorrectly warns "No EFI System Partition was found" on BIOS/MBR
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
While installing Ubuntu MATE 22.04 under BIOS mode, I select manual
partitioning and I create an MBR disk with a single ext4 partition.
Then I get a dialog with this warning:
"""
Go back to the menu and resume partitioning?
No EFI System Partition was found. This system will likely not be able
to boot successfully, and the installation process may fail.
Please go back and add an EFI System Partition, or continue at your own risk.
"""
That dialog is inappropriate there and may scare inexperienced users.
Ubiquity could check that /sys/firmware/efi doesn't exist, and that
the disk is formatted with MBR, and not display that dialog.
