Will fix, but note that the reason it's crashing is that Mythbuntu already has code to disable migration-assistant which is a bit incautious. Thus, if you have a problem with the Mythbuntu frontend, --no-migration-assistant isn't likely to solve it!

Your syslog shows a crash during hardware detection. I suggest trying a current daily build (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/), which may fix this problem.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.12.3

---------------
ubiquity (1.12.3) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Sync with netcfg 1.44: Define IPv6 ::1 address as "localhost" (thanks,
    Robb Topolski; LP: #301430).
  * Silently skip non-existent devices in /proc/swaps (LP: #290947).
  * Use small print rather than italics in "Who are you?" (LP: #287626).
  * Revert r2984 from ubiquity 1.11.5, and instead filter out language packs
    that don't exist in the live filesystem's apt cache; this allows us to
    accurately produce incomplete language support notifications again.
    Thanks to Mario Limonciello for testing (LP: #337748).
  * Mythbuntu frontend:
    - Don't crash if --no-migration-assistant was used (LP: #354368).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: partman-base 129ubuntu6.
