This was happening because when ubiquity was regaining privileges it
would only set the EUID back to 0, rather than both the EUID and EGID.
This bug would not present itself in the "Try Ubuntu" option as SUDO_UID
and SUDO_GID were not set, so the installer would not drop privileges in
the first place in that case.
