One shouldn't preseed
d-i partman-auto/select_disk
d-i partman-auto/automatically_partition boolean True

As those are interactive dialogs which well, end-up in a loop.

Instead of select_disk, one should preseed:
d-i partman-auto/disk

Nonetheless, even with correct lvm preseeds, subsequent installs fail
with "No root filesystem specified" which is quite unfortunate, given
that interactive dialogs see partman-auto/automatically_partition_init
and can select some_device_lvm recipe there.

It looks to me like another incarnation of the
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto-lvm/+bug/154086

As a crude workaround there is a very thorough way one can reinstall
same configuration lvm. See attached preseed file.....
