I have what sounds like essentially the same problem.  "Removing
conflicting operating system files..." and it never leaves that state.
I connect to the wireless but do not install Broadcom drivers.  I choose
sda8 which has Lubuntu installed.   I have tried to install with and
without formatting the partition, this time without.  I choose / as
mount point and ext 4.    This is a Samsung netbook with Win 7 and
ubuntu 11.10, both of which I want to keep at this point.

Title:
  Installer stuck at "Removing conflicting operating system files..."

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is happening to me in both Ubuntu and Xubuntu 12.04 alpha install
  CDs.

  I have several partitions but I choose only two: one as the root (/)
  dir which I choose for formatting, and one as /home without
  formatting. Both are marked as ext4.

  The installer formats the root partition and then it says "Removing
  conflicting  operating system files..." and it never leaves that
  state.

  Before running the installer, I install the "Broadcom STA wireless"
  drivers and enable my wifi connection.
