I just tried it again and it seems to have been a timing issue. After pressing the "Next" button the "Screenshot" button is still available for about a second. If I click on the "Screenshot" button very quickly then the installer (component) segfault. Before the actual partitioning happens the "Screenshot" button gets deactivated. So I think we can blame it on the timing. Most people won't encounter this effect. So if it's a real effort to fix this I'd suggest to leave it like it is.
