(Get the code!)
mwhudson's problem is that the USB medium (sdb) he was installing from had more free space than the actual disk (sda) in the system, and partman-auto wrongly then chose to use that free space to install to.
Now, the partitioning of installer media is somewhat weird, so it's sort of expected that you can't create a file system on there. So it's not clear whether this is the same issue as the bug report. Obviously still something that should be fixed.
Bill: Is your install medium larger than the disk in the system, or rather the free space larger than the free space on the installed system, too? Without more logs, we can't have conclusive answers. I think even just running parted -l after booting the installer would help a lot.
