BIOS grub is not mandatory from my testing. However, if using, it has to
be the first partition and need only be 1M. It should not be formatted.
In your example you made it second partition (/dev/sda2).
So, for your test case, try the following partitioning scheme,
1) /dev/sda1, BIOS grub, 1M, no mount point
2) /dev/sda2, EFI System partition, 512M, /boot/efi
3) /dev/sda3, ext4, <root size as you wish/available>, /
4) /dev/sda4, swap, <swap size of choice> # This is not required now as Ubuntu
uses swapfile.
OR, skip BIOS grub and try,
1) /dev/sda1, EFI System partition, 512M, /boot/efi
2) /dev/sda2, ext4, <root size as you wish/available>, /
3) /dev/sda3, swap, <swap size of choice> # This is not required now as Ubuntu
uses swapfile.
P.S.: Instead of creating new bug report for same issue, you could use
tags to include additional info like other distros/releases affected, or
if that is not possible, just update comment.
