- I've attached a proposed patch which makes the button look as expected.

+ clicking an "Install Now" button, the present state risks users losing
+ data.
  
- Ubuntu release: 20.04.3 LTS
- Package version: 20.04.15.17
+ [Test Plan]
+ * Acquire a VM or machine with a partition that is BitLockered.
+ * Run thru the Ubiquity installer:
+   * Install Ubuntu
+   * Appropriate keyboard layout and Continue
+   * Accept defaults at "Updates and other software" Install screen,
+     and Continue
+   * At the Installation type screen, ensure that "Install Ubuntu
+     alongside Windows Boot Manager" is selected, and Continue
+   * The "Turn off bitlocker" screen should now be showing. Click the
+     "Back" button
+   * Select "Something else" and Continue
+   * 3 buttons should be visible in the Bottom row.  When the defect is
+     present, the rightmost button is green and says "Restart".  When
+     the defect has been corrected, the rightmost button says "Install
+     now" and is the same color as the other buttons.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ * Any change to the installer must be treated with the highest level
+   of care, as this is a place where users with less experience make
+   changes to a system and can lose data if mistakes are made.
+ 
+ * Are there other code flows where the state variables are incorrect?
+   Since the current code depends on the back button to reset the
+   state, is it doing so completely?
