I had this problem when I went back to the first step of the installer, and right when I clicked update this installer it triggered the error.

There was one time when I started installing, and as soon as I got to the point where I could click "Install", Ubiquity crashed with this same bug. I assume it's an issue that certainly needs to be fixed in time for Lucid's final release, considering it is potentially fatal.

Switching back and forth on the regions seems to be what is causing this bug.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 2.2.17

---------------
ubiquity (2.2.17) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Remove unused install_bottom_eb from GTK frontend's install_window.

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Catch invalid iterators in on_region_combo_changed (LP: #521851).
  * Don't let not being able to talk to the system bus crash the entire
    language page.
  * Translate the yes and no buttons on the quit dialog in the KDE
    frontend (LP: #561876).
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
    1.103ubuntu7, choose-mirror 2.29ubuntu3, partman-base 139ubuntu4,
    partman-basicfilesystems 63ubuntu4, tzsetup 1:0.26ubuntu8.

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Skip copy_wallpaper_cache when running as oem-config.
  * Update finish-install.d/07oem-config-user for new location of KDE's
    oem-config-prepare .desktop file (LP: #557309).
  * Restore translations for oem-config-check and oem-config-udeb, lost in
    oem-config merge.
  * Display simple progress feedback using debconf-apt-progress while
    removing oem-config (LP: #558593).
  * Write locale-gen output from ubiquity-dm to /var/log/installer/dm rather
    than to the console.
  * Increase kernel flush times (dirty_writeback_centisecs to 3000, and
    dirty_expire_centisecs to 6000) during bulk data copying. Surbhi
    Palande suggests that this should make it easier for the kernel to pack
    blocks contiguously, speeding up ureadahead after installation.

  [ Amichai Rothman ]
  * Fix hang unless mouse is moved (LP: #556376)
