Are you using the newt frontend?  In that case, could you try with the
GTK+ frontend?

I have tried with both the newt and GTK+ frontend and the Cancel button
was usuable in both cases.

What size is the partition being erased?

After having a look at the source code, it's possible that, for a very
large partition, the progress would be updated rarely enough to give you
the impression that the Cancel button do not work, as its result would
not be checked often enough.

A possible fix in that case would be to divide the progress into more
steps than the current 100.  But a deeper investigation would be
required before that.

Cheers,
