Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with ubiquity version 20.04.15

When trying to preseed some values as documented in
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/amd64/apbs02.html
#preseed-bootparms ubiquity seems to ignore these values.

I specifically tried passwd/user-uid and the expectation was that this
userID will be used for installing the dafult user. According to the
documentation this should be possible, however it never installs the
default user with the given userid.

It seems to me that line 783 in ubi-usersetup will set the preseed
dataset with an empty value if the installer does not run in OEM install
mode, ignoring the preseed value. If I set this value in the Try +
Install mode before starting the install procedure it will take the
given value to install the default user.
