I don't know what's causing this ...

... but that's definitely not it. You most likely are using some
hideously old iso image with a long fixed bug in d-i. I think this was

Try the netinst iso, it should work pretty well. It downloads all the
latest and greatest, and usually working best -- versions of everything.
