Having tried again, I've discovered that if you press ESC on the error screen and then select 'Select components to install' from the d-i main menu then the installation continues succesfully. The initial error may be down to a problem with our preseed, e.g. it's being forced to use a particular partition that doesn't exist or something like that.
