Hi,
The bug still seem to be present, as tried with the most recent Jessie netboot
image.

Following is the output from network-console at the time of issue:

To workaround in my case, I'd to SIGKILL the mkfs.ext4 process, and then had
to do 'mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sda3', and after that went back to debian-installer
screen, and chose "Detect Disks" menu item, and now installation is going on.
