just performed successfully an installation at low priority, so going to commit this patch (also tested with test debconf scripts, no problems found, cdebconf behaviour was regular).
I could get crashes when on VT1 while partitioner was running in the background. Unluckily, i couldn't find a deterministic way to reproduce this crash, so i don't know where to look exactly (in the gtk frontend, in gtk/dfb indfb..): i'll try to investigate, or better open a br about this.Looking at crashes during partman is probably not the most easy way to go about it. Partman as a lot of complex interactions. I'm sure I've seen crashes at other points as well. Possibly hardware detection, netcfg, and base-installer or pkgsel or both. pkgsel is probably a bad choice for debugging as well though.
I used partman because i could reproduce the crash, but i'm aware partman is a bad beast (among all debconf clients in d-i, i remember it giving problems since i first started working on the g-i).
