Basically installation fail when the installer doesn't find an EFI (ESR) partition on computers with legacy BIOS. This time I have used Ubuntu 21.04 also to test the new version of Ubiquity package (21.04.15) which, as reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1893964/comments/22 should have fixed the issue.
