Indeed, Jeff's diagnosis is correct. To quote from my analysis of bug
160796:
The problem here seems to be that console-setup isn't in the read-only file
system on the live CD, and so ubiquity has to install it in a context where it
isn't quite prepared to do so. In Hardy, this should be fixed because ubiquity
will instead queue it for installation
and install it when it actually is ready:
ubiquity (1.7.7) hardy; urgency=low

* Prevent apt-install from installing packages directly unless
install_extras has been run (previously, it would do so once apt was
configured, which produced some confusing error messages).
