Timezone map not displaying properly on AMD64 LiveCD install

Bug Description

On an AMD64 system I booted the AMD64 LiveCD. I clicked the "Install" icon on the desktop. When it gets to the time settings, and I click to set a timezone, the initial map displays ok. Then I click the map on the US and it displays a zoomed-in map of the US. On that zoomed-in map, many of the 'dots' for various cities/timezones are missing.

Upon mousing over the general area's, the timezone does seem to update, but it is a blind search for the exact right area for the timezone you want.

The main example is that there is no 'dot' representing Chicago.

Not a high-priority issue, but annoying nonetheless.

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'espresso-timezone'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.

Would it be possible to get a screenshot of the zoomed-in map of the US, attached to this bug?

I think you can change the name of this bug to "Doubletwist is frickin' blind and retarded".

I went back to take the screenshot and found the 'missing' dots. Everything looks just fine and all the representative dots are present.

I've got similiar problem with Kubuntu Feisty Herd4 installer (i386).

There's no map, timezone points overlay previous installer "page".
