Yes, that's exactly the reason. The db_input returns 30 because the question gets skipped because the prio you're running at is higher than the one it's set to be asked at. The correct solution is to add ' || [ $? -eq 30 ]' to the line. It's a bit of a corner case because people don't normally log into preseeded installs. I've just fixed it in the source (of debian-installer-utils, not network-console). Thanks for providing the info to track it down.
