This is an issue with the way that the mid and mobile images are constructed. ubiquity expects to find /cdrom/casper/vmlinuz, but the images have /cdrom/vmlinuz. Moving the location of vmlinuz in the images allows the install to succeed.

Emmet has told me this is due to the kernel being installed to the key on /, rather than under casper.

The script responsible for generating the image has been fixed to install the kernel under casper.
