I have the same problem: I try to install on /dev/hdc. 

I think the problem is in utilities/dinstall/select_not_mounted.c because of

int init_linux (void) {
  struct fdisk_partition *p;
  int cflag,status;

  sync();
  p=select_not_mounted(MSG_SELECT_INITIALIZE ,MSG_SELECT_PARTITION,1,FSTYPE_EXT2);
  if (!p) return 1;

in utilities/dinstall/partition_config.c

	  
N.B: note that the problem afflicts only init_linux in partition_config.c, but
     not init_swap
