Could you please send us the /var/log/partman for that error (gzipped)?

You will not have to overwrite your disks to do this. Just run the 
installer:
- do the partitioning (up to the point of the error)
- back up to the main menu
- copy the logfile off the system (using the save logs option in the menu)
- choose the option to break off the installation from the menu

TIA,
