I'd suggest to remove the affected images from the server. I just tried
to install the current daily build and selected this option.
Unfortunately I used the same user name like in my productive system.
Now:

1. The partition of the previous Natty install is formatted - as expected.
2. The user directory in my /home is deleted - not quite expected.
3. A data partition is completely formatted and overwritten with the default 
contents of the user folder after a fresh install - not expected at all.

Many sites link directly to the daily image directory (in my case the
wiki site of the Natty's Xorg testers team) and there is no warning at
all so I'd strongly recommend to either place a warning directly in the
files list or remove the affected images!
