(Please keep the bug report CC'ed.)
Just for the record, I have tried to reproduce the problem on my own but
I was not able to do so. Your help is more than welcome to solve this
issue! :)

So the problem appears to happen while parted_server tries to iterate
through the available partitions. Could you try to add a line with
"set -x" in /lib/partman/init.d/35dump? (using nano)
You should be able to read a trace of the script by looking at
/var/log/syslog (again using nano) while the installer is stuck.
Another thing you could try is to remove
/lib/partman/init.d/25md-devices, then see if it still hangs. You can
also do the same for /lib/partman/init.d/26lvm-devices.

One possible way is to add "modules=network-console" on the boot prompt.
Before the partitioning step, the installer will start an SSH server on
which you will be able to connect. From there, you should be able to
start a shell and type any commands necessary.
I hope we will be able to track this down! :)
