Yes, I started a shell and moved it, and that would have been after
partman mounted /target, and before proceeding to the next step of the
install (I was in expert mode).

Behavior makes sense then.

It might be possible for d-i to do better in this situation, eg partman
could defer writing fstab until finish-install time.
