Title:
  Bootloader installation fails on UEFI systems with FDE (incl. /boot)

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Partition setup was a luks partition with an existing home directory,
  which I'd unlocked prior to starting ubiquity (otherwise it wouldn't
  even find the partition)

  Bootloader install partition was an efi system partition

  This section of syslog looks relevant, looks like it couldn't handle
  the encrypted disk
