I narrowed the cause down to one of the things I did or didn't do listed
below:
1) I made the bootable USB liveCD using unetbootin. Unetbootin doesn't
clean the USB disk (as ubuntu usb-creator does) and I had not removed
the files on the USB disk. Unetbootin does ask if I want to overwrite
existing files, but some old files might remain.
2) I had not cleaned (formatted) the root partition I installed to in
advance of the installation, but formatted the root partition during the
installation.
3) I use a separate /home partition (which I left intact) and the home
directory of the user I made during the installation already existed
with some files in it.
If I clean the USB disk, root partition and user directory in advance of
installing I can complete the installation without problems (after
working around bug #966294).
While 1) is obviously my own stupidity, 2) and 3) might be reported as
bugs here already. I'll trawl launchpad to see what I can find. If I
don't report back, consider this report a fluke.
