I was able to recreate this by removing the /var/log/installer folder
and replacing it with a zero byte file.
bdmurray@clean-bionic-amd64:~$ sudo rm -fr /var/log/installer
[sudo] password for bdmurray:
bdmurray@clean-bionic-amd64:~$ sudo touch /var/log/installer

Given that ubiquity creates the /var/log/installer folder and that I'm
unable to recreate this by just removing the folder I'm setting this to
a low priority.
