Yes, this problem is expected; it's been fixed by a new upload of partman-auto, which should be included in tomorrow's images. I still don't know why you're getting the warning about the first partition not being an aboot partition. There may be a problem with how I'm munging partman partition IDs, but if so, this would be difficult to track down without access to a disk that displays the problem.
