I'm having the same issue running the Dell Recovery ISO from here:
http://goo.gl/s4Atrh
I am running it from a USB disk on the latest XPS 13, and it gets most of the
way through installing and then dies when it gets to the grub install with the
error: The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed
I had this problem using the official Dell Recovery Media for the
just-released Haswell Dell XPS 13 with Ubuntu 12.04 pre-installed.
After using the official recovery media, I couldn't boot, receiving the
same grub error.

This log seems to support my previous analysis: a BIOS version of GRUB
is installed in the MBR, and it seems likely that the system is trying
to boot from that.

Mr. H, are you sure you did an EFI install at all? I guess /dev/sda5
might be an EFI System Partition, but it's hard to tell.
/var/log/installer/syslog and /var/log/installer/partman would be
helpful in determining whether your problem is actually related to this
bug at all.

I have done i386 and amd64, doing both with a erase-whole-disk, and
install along side windows, cycling through the different bios efi
options (efi, bios, bios first ..).
About the only thing left to try is installing an older release and then
doing
My install was UEFI.

Is your install working with UEFI or BIOS? Because the kernel as it is
doesn't really support UEFI until we apply the changes from bug 959286.

I'm afraid I've been unable to reproduce this on my UEFI system. I did
an erase-whole-disk install and it just worked (with the exception of
some screen corruption at boot).
The only thing I can think of is that a UEFI GRUB core image is somehow
trying to find and load BIOS-platform GRUB

I have a machine (x120e) that I have recreated this problem on. Manually
installing grub-pc solves the issue here as well, as long as the bios
is set to emulate classif BIOS behavior.
I am willing to reinstall, and run tests etc, just let me know what if
you need anything.

to do with Ubiquity or alternate install, it looks more like a grub

Manually changing from grub-efi to grub-pc solves the issue - in that
at least grub works now.
While I do have an EFI bios, it emulates the classic BIOS behaviour,
so I'm not sure why ubuntu outsmarted itself by picking the EFI grub.
