I've had a chance to try this again, and the installation succeeded!
although I'd changed two environmental factors -

- a wired ethernet connection was available this time around
- I used 'Startup Disk Creator' from Natty to create the boot media rather than 
UNetBootin

I've now got this brilliant LUKS-protected Precise netbook, which I'm
very happy about.

I doubt UNetBootin is the culprit, so it appears an internet connection
is required for tasksel to do its job. If that's the intention, maybe a
note could be made in the installation process to remind users they
can't continue the installation without one.

Which renders this bug invalid, though needing network connectivity for
an image install may be a bug itself if verified.
