I just tried this again on 16.04.4 and it seems to work for me:

Did a FCP (single LUN) LPAR installation on 16.04.4 and created two test files 
after the installation:
$ sudo vi /test1.txt
$ vi /home/ubuntu/test2.txt
Then I re-run the installation, enabled the FCP devices, selected Manual 
partitioning, selected the still existing ext4 root disk (#1) and just 
(re-)configured it as 'Use as: Ext4' (didn't do any partitioning), 'Mount 
point: /' and "no, keep existing data" (not recommended, just for testing 
here), confirmed this (also to not formatting that partition), proceeded with 
the installation, completed it and rebooted.
After logging in to the system again I could still find the two files - hence 
the old partition was really used.
For details see attached file test1.txt.
