I presume you're not doing anything complicated (like including other preseed files that might set the setting back). It might be worth checking that your setting really was applied by flipping to the console once the install is underway (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and running: debconf-get tasksel/first to make sure it's empty. You might also want to add DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 to your kernel command line, to make the install much more verbose, which might let you work out what's going on. BTW The resulting syslog ends up as /var/log/installer/syslog on the installed system.
