I think the immediate problem was bug 1055326:

ubiquity (2.12.6) quantal; urgency=low

  * Make the accessibility indicator menu items translatable (LP: #1040438).
    Note that this just adds the necessary infrastructure; we still need
    actual translations for this to be useful.
  * Drop dependency on realpath, not needed since hw-detect 1.89 (ubiquity
    2.11.14).
  * Bind-mount /run while installing packages in the target chroot, so that
    name resolution works (LP: #1055326).
  * Update translations from Launchpad (LP: #1056029).
  * Upgrade to Automake 1.11.6.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: debian-installer-utils
    1.91ubuntu5, flash-kernel 3.0~rc.4ubuntu26.

Actually it was bug 1047550.

ubiquity (2.12.0) quantal; urgency=low

  [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs ]
  * bin/ubiquity-dm: Drop atk-bridge GTK_MODULE as this is now part of
    GTK+ 3.5.
  * bin/ubiquity-dm: Add overlay-scrollbar GTK_MODULE as this is now a
    module. (LP: #1052040)
  * Set create/edit title on the partitioning dialogs (LP: #1048464)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Drop reconfiguration of usplash and splashy; they were removed from the
    Ubuntu archive in natty and precise respectively.
  * Bind-mount /run while running grub-installer, so that the resolver works
    (LP: #1047550).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: choose-mirror 2.40ubuntu1,
    flash-kernel 3.0~rc.4ubuntu24, grub-installer 1.78ubuntu1, partman-auto
    103ubuntu1, partman-efi 25ubuntu2, user-setup 1.46ubuntu1.
