Usability issue during install when setting nonexistent mount point

Bug Description

Repro:
1. During install, at partition manager, set a partition (mine was a windows partition) to /windows.

Result:
You continue through the install for a step or two, then you're bounced all the way back to the time zone UI to fix your error.

Expect:
First, I would expect to be bounced to the partition UI, rather than 5 steps previous to repeat what was already done. Second, it would be even more helpful to create the mount point I specified rather than sending me back to conform to the existing mount point choices.

The first point is much more important. If I really cared, I could edit fstab later on, though newer users might not realize this.

I believe I fixed this in a previous release (bouncing back to the time zone). Was this using a daily desktop CD or a specific release? Does the first problem still occur on the latest daily desktop CD (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/)?

IIRC, this was a 9/25 CD.
