25%?
This is the only strange thing I can see. Try 100% instead.

For debugging this, try not setting the last two values and basically not
preseeding anything after this point. That will allow you to check what's
shown.
Check that the recipe file is actually in the location you specified
and "looks" correct (compare with /lib/partman/recipes/). Any problems
with line endings perhaps (DOS-style versus Linux-style)?
The only way to really debug this (if needed) is probably to enable
debugging in appropriate shell scripts under /lib/partman. You could
start by adding one in /lib/partman/lib/recipes.sh.
Also check /var/log/partman. You should be able to recognize the actions
it performs and see how far it gets.

Please just attach (gzipped!) next time.
