Perhaps it would be worthwhile to have a warning on one of these that
all important data should be backed up before proceeding.

A statement that data *loss* can sometimes occur is a useful complement to suggesting another course of action (do a backup).

I know someone who stopped installing ubuntu temporarily because he had read on the CD packet that the 'default install' could wipe all his data. He took it seriously.

The current 12.04 wallet words are more targeted:
====================================================
Explore and install
Try Ubuntu before you install it – simply boot your computer from
this CD. You can install Ubuntu alongside Windows or Mac OS X,
or you can replace your current operating system entirely. Just back
up your files and follow the installation instructions carefully.
====================================================
