I created a script that wipes my disks of any superblocks and partitions
and then recreates the partitions again (using a stored partition table
with sfdisk) and the raid devices using mdadm.

If I start the Ubuntu installer, switch to another console and run the
script and then proceed to install Ubuntu on the created partitions this
bug occurs and the system gets stuck on first boot.

If I boot up another Linux install disc, run the script and then start
the Ubuntu installer again and install Ubuntu on the created partitions
all works fine.

So I'm not entirely sure that the bug is in the installer's partitioner.
I my case above I didn't touch the partitioner and used the following
partition table with sfdisk instead:

# partition table of /dev/sda
unit: sectors

/dev/sda1 : start=     2048, size= 19529728, Id=fd, bootable
/dev/sda2 : start= 19531776, size=947265536, Id=fd
/dev/sda3 : start=966797312, size=  9975808, Id=fd
/dev/sda4 : start=        0, size=        0, Id= 0
