I have no idea what you mean by 'loader-RAID5'...

It likely doesn't matter what type of RAID is being used. I also tested on the live CD with the same problem. mdadm isn't present on the live CD and the array wasn't assembled. Once again, the big problem is that the installer writes directly to devices with a RAID superblock. And also once again, the broader problem is the way the installer detects file systems: the installer assumes that any bits it finds lying around on a hard drive are still valid, when in fact they could be left over from previous configurations.
