I don't seem to be able to reproduce this in a VM with a blank disk.
But I notice from your most recent attachments that your disk wasn't
blank to start with - so maybe that has something to do with it? I'll
try again once this install has completed.
(Mind you, I'm using the i386 server image because I didn't expect that
would make a difference. I might download and try the amd64 alternate
image if all else fails.)

Title:
no way to create logical volume within lvm
Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've just reinstalled my laptop using the precise alternative amd64
snapshot from 2012-01-27. I wanted to repartition the disk, and then
have an lv on a vg on lusk within a partition.
I chose "guided install with encrypted lvm", and I got a luks
partition with lvm inside it, but it didn't have any logical volumes.
(So, the install could not proceed since there was no root partition.)
I tried again in manual mode and hit the same problem: after the vg
was created, I could see it in the partitioner menu, but I couldn't
see any way to create an lv within it. When I pressed enter on the
pv, or anything connected to it, I was just told "this is in use by
$device_name and cannot be edited". (I forget the exact name, it was
something like 'crypt_sda5'.)
