Thanks! Yes, the work around worked for me too.

The thing that is really confusing me is that I used the latest daily
build (yesterday) of DI and I'm still seeing this problem. On examining
the ISO image it does have 0.22 of the mountmedia udeb. But when I run
the installer I still see the partition type check in /bin/mountmedia.

The bug report reports a fix in version 0.22 of mountmedia
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=694082). When I
extract the files from the udeb I see the fixed file.

There's something about how DI is built that I'm not getting :-) What is
it? Thanks in advance for humoring me!

Cheers!
