@ Mike D, based on what they said:

"During installation I asked that Ubuntu should be installed in an existing 250 GB partition on my second disk, selecting about 240 GB for the system and about 10 GB for swapping. In the event my selection was ignored and I ended-up with three partitions, one of about 220 GB (empty) with the sytem installed in /dev/sdb6 (about 20 GB) and the swap in /dev/sdb7 (about 10 GB). So, all-in-all, a pretty miserable experience."

That leads me to think this is more relative to bug 652852.

Regardless, the new ubiquity combined with Wubi/grub 2 bugs have made Ubuntu the least noob friendly I've ever seen it :^(

I've thought about mentioning it at bug 1, but I've already tried Ayatana and ubuntu-installer. At this point I can only assume that Ubuntu no longer wants new users that want to dual-boot.
