Right. I think here we're catching a case we can't do much about -- your
system boots fine without the boot flag set on the ESP (/dev/sda1); and
we don't automatically change things on the ESP so as not to break
things.
However, grub depends on a few hints to find out where the ESP is, namely that
the passed device contains an EFI directory, and a vendor directory below it,
hence the message you get:
Apr 16 17:49:31 ubuntu ubiquity: grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.
I suppose the best to do here is to validate that manual partitioning
allows setting grub's destination to /dev/sda1 too; I suspect maybe
ubiquity doesn't have that logic.
Did you notice that option in the drop-down when you did the install?
** Package changed: grub-installer (Ubuntu) => ubiquity (Ubuntu)
