I would _asume_ it could not be "EBUSY" as I see nothing in the script that
would mount the drive... Again: this is the script, not custom.  This is
100% reproducable in all my setups: just try using the defaults from the
installer, and you should hit this.

This occurs immediately after partitioning, which _does_ succeed.

- you say "some configurations" - try the DEFAULT. Let it wipe the HD, 
partition, and:  fail.

A guess, but ... one that makes no sense:

Surely it isn't one of those "old kernel" type problems where the new
partition scheme isn't known, and therefore, kernel can't find the partition
that the script expects?  I haven't seen one of those issues for... over
15 years (:
