I can not answer your question but unsell some new bug was introduced you don't need to bypass partman. 1. Start the installer in the expert mode so all questions will be asked 2. Choose to create by partman a new partition table on your block device. 3. You will be asked about its type. Choose "loop". 4. Create one partition that ocupies the whole disk and use it. The "loop" partition table type is some hack provided by parted meaning that the storage device has only one partition and it ocupies the whole device.
