I can happily report that at least in Ubuntu 7.10 RC this problem no
longer exists.
I was able to test the installation today and even though the installer
still complained somewhat (the migration-assistant not being able to
unmount partitions), it was no longer hanging nor indefinitely waiting
after creating the filesystems.

I noticed however, that the NTFS volumes were no longer mounted during
the installation process - only FAT32 and ext3 partitions were mounted
in the target filesystem:

$ mount -l | grep target
/dev/sda8 on /target type ext3 (rw) []
/dev/sda6 on /target/data type ext3 (rw) [DATA]
/dev/sda7 on /target/mnt/gutsy type ext3 (rw) [GUTSY]
/dev/sda9 on /target/mnt/linux3 type ext3 (rw) [LINUX3]
/dev/sda1 on /target/mnt/recovery type vfat (rw) [RECOVERY]

But this didn't make much difference, since the mountpoints for NTFS
volumes were created in correct places anyway:

$ ls /target/media
cdrom  cdrom0  homek  vista

BTW, my disk is now partitioned as follows:

$ sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
129 heads, 4 sectors/track, 605778 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 516 * 512 = 264192 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x3184f443

I suppose the upgrade of ntfs-3g and libntfs-3g12 to 1:1.913-2ubuntu1
helped much in this aspect :-). Good job anyway!
