Wow, this is pretty bad.  Thanks for the detailed logs.

What's happening here is that partman creates a new BIOS Boot Partition
rather than reusing the existing one; and for reasons best known to
itself it also changes the existing BBP to not be a BBP any more.  The
effect of all this monkey business is that GRUB no longer manages to
recognise the disk as GPT, and things go south pretty rapidly from
there.

partman really ought to reuse the existing BBP.  This is sadly not
entirely trivial to arrange, so I probably won't manage to do it in time
for beta-2, but it should be possible.

** Package changed: grub2 (Ubuntu Natty) => partman-partitioning (Ubuntu
Natty)

** Summary changed:

- grub fails in ubuntu install on mac with 'guided resize' of partitions
+ partman should reuse existing BIOS Boot Partition

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Natty)
       Status: New => Invalid
